The network usage sizing appears now in the Network section of the Migration preferences page. The Egress traffic estimate knob lets you tune a percentage value of the measured VM egress traffic to be used to estimate billed network traffic per VM. For previous assessments that used the preset method, Migration Center back-filled the egress traffic estimate by using the following values for each sizing optimization strategy:
- No preference: 10%
- No rightsizing: 10%
- Moderate: 10%
- Aggressive: 5%
Previous reports with logical and physical core count per VM might contain inaccuracies. This release contains a fix to information presented on logical and physical core counts per VM. If you compare reports that were exported prior to this change, you might see a different count of logical and physical cores.
