How recommendations work

- Each resource is profiled: average, p95, and peak utilisation
- A resource with
avg CPU < 5%andavg RAM < 10%is marked idle - A resource with
avg CPU < 20%andavg RAM < 30%is a right-sizing candidate - Recommendations include the specific alternative instance type and exact monthly saving
