Product suggestion recommender
The product suggestion recommender helps you to optimize your Cloud usage by providing
you with product suggestions. This can help you improve performance and security, and
manage your resources better. Based on best practices, it analyzes your current
product usage within each project and determines any additional products that might
optimize your usage.
If the recommender identifies an opportunity to leverage a product within a
project, a recommendation is generated for that project in the
Recommendation Hub.
All users who have the appropriate permissions can view the recommendations when
logged in to the hub.
Every product suggestion includes information about the recommendation, details
on the product, and links to help you get started with the product.
Here are one example for a product suggestion recommendation:
A cloud logging suggestion for your Google Kubernetes Engine resources.
In the Cloud Logging card, click View all to
view the list of product suggestion recommendations.
If you can't find the card, then you
either don't have the
permission to view the recommendations,
or there aren't any recommendations for the current project.
On the following screen, click each recommendation to view its details.
