2025-07 Monthly Summary for flexera-public/policy_templates focusing on key feature delivery, major bug fixes, and overall impact. Delivered two primary changes: (1) Azure Instance Size Flexibility Ratio Table – introduced a data-driven table to mirror AWS Normal Form Units, wired into the azure_compute_instance_types.py script, fetching and validating ratios from a remote Azure URL, and corrected the invocation to create_instance_size_flexibility_ratio_table. Commits: cf150e75a8dc0bb5bab9c8c345c7d7125fa5fdcb; 4111fc6567c7b7bb95cd244ff85aaf3d47e44f9a. (2) ITAM Policies Cleanup: Removed the ITAM VMs Missing Host ID policy due to accuracy issues, removing the policy template, related changelog, README, and updating CSV/YAML listings to reflect the removal. Commit: 17e7537649c8e7376124d48451ce2b22cddc4b2c. Key business value: improved data fidelity and governance for cloud policy templates, enabling more accurate capacity planning and cost insights for Azure vs AWS. Overall impact: reduced risk from incorrect policy configurations, introduced cross-cloud sizing alignment, and strengthened maintenance hygiene. Top business outcomes: better policy governance, more reliable compute sizing data, and clearer traceability of changes.
