Question on: IBM Turbonomic
when will you implement cross team role in parkymycloud?
Hi Robert - posting the answer we discussed by email in case it's of use to others!
Today, a user can belong to multiple teams, and has the same role on all teams they belong to. We have a roadmap item to allow the same user to have different roles on different teams. We will keep you posted with updates.
Great question and thanks for the feedback!

Question on: IBM Turbonomic
What kind of cloud resources can ParkMyCloud manage?
ParkMyCloud can provide start/stop scheduling for the following resources in each cloud provider:
AWS – EC2 instances, Auto Scaling Groups, and RDS instances including Aurora clusters.
Azure – virtual machines and Azure Scale Sets.
GCP – virtual machine instances, both preemptible and non-preemptible, Google Cloud SQL Databases, and Google Managed Instance groups, both with and without autoscaling.
Alibaba Cloud – ECS instances.
Where autoscaling is supported, we support scaling the active instances up or down, including down to zero instance for an “off” state if supported by the cloud provider.
In addition, ParkMyCloud can perform rightsizing for AWS EC2 instances and databases, with GCP and Azure support coming in early 2019.
