Excluded Resources
You have the ability to exclude specific resources from any calculations done in Workload Placement. There are 4 categories of resources that you can exclude: networks, compute instances, applications, and custom groups.
For example, you might want to exclude networks that are internal-only, or applications that are going to stay on-premises.
Networks Exclusions
After creating a project in Workload Placement, you can exclude networks from calculations in Workload Placement and view the excluded networks in an exclusions list.
A list of excluded resources can be viewed from the Integrations page by clicking Exclusion Lists.
You can add a network by entering any combination of the following:
One or more comma-separated IP addresses
A hyphenated range of IP addresses in the format <IPaddress-IPaddress>
Examples:
IP Addresses | Result |
|---|---|
203.0.113.0, 203.0.113.213 | Excludes both addresses listed |
203.0.113.213–203.0.113.255 | Excludes all addresses beginning at 203.0.113.213 and ending at 203.0.113.255 |
203.0.113.0, 203.0.113.0–203.0.113.215 | Excludes the first address and all addresses from 203.0.113.0 up to and including 203.0.113.215 |
You can remove a single resource from the exclusion list by clicking the 'x' at the end of the row. The selected item will be included in calculations the next time they are initiated.
Other Resource Exclusions
Applications, compute instances, and custom groups can be added to the Exclusions List by right-clicking on a resource on the Inventory page and selecting Exclude from Calculation.
The excluded resource will display an "excluded" badge and will appear on the Custom Groups tab in Exclusion Lists. After saving the Inventory page, a popup displays when hovering over the excluded badge, stating the reason for the exclusion.
