Idle cloud VM analysis
Review requested: Idle cloud VM analysis. Synthetic topic observations are supplied.
Not Started
This sample persona can approve the defined action. Complete the evidence checklist and clear conflicts before authorized review; operational execution is excluded.
Service context
Synthetic monthly billing increased from $12,000 to $18,000. Low utilization supports a right-sizing review, not a claim that the full variance is recoverable or savings were realized.
Topic evidence assessment
Synthetic topic fixture
Synthetic monthly billing increased from $12,000 to $18,000.
Synthetic topic fixture
Three nonproduction VMs average 8% CPU; resource owner tags are present.
Configured review policy
Review authorization does not grant infrastructure execution. Missing or conflicting evidence blocks the review record.
Authorized completion creates a review record, not an operational recovery.
Evidence-backed recommendation
Start investigation to inspect the sample evidence and supported hypothesis.

Confidence is a fixed synthetic assessment setting. Inspect the listed topic observations and resolve conflicts before review. Deterministic sample assessment, not a calibrated model probability.
- ITSM-8-4 review record only; no recovery, access change, infrastructure mutation or realized saving
- Configured medium risk scenario
Proposed action
Create an authorized evidence-review record for idle cloud vm analysis.
