Adding a template-based Optimizer rule
You can create an Optimizer rule based on a predefined template or create a customized rule from the Rules page in the Administration tab. The templates have preconfigured conditions based on the specific environment that they are defined for. For example, the AWS - Virtual Machines template includes a condition to generate recommendations for EC2 instances (or virtual machines) that are idle in your AWS environment.
Out-of-the-box Optimizer rules are based on predefined templates. You can modify these rules or define new ones by using the templates. For more information about Optimizer rules, see Configuring-and-managing-Optimizer-rules.
