I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to propose a new feature that could greatly improve the usability and management of assets within our development environment, particularly when dealing with virtual machines that are part of various configurations or services.
Feature Description: I would like to suggest the implementation of an attribute inheritance and visibility mechanism within our Assets. This feature would enable certain attributes to be inherited or made visible when linking one asset to another. Specifically, this would be of significant benefit when managing child objects ( for our use case is virtual machines) that participate in objects (for us different constructs or services), ensuring that from next object (ownership and visibility are appropriately maintained.)
Use Case: A common scenario where this feature would prove invaluable is when a virtual machine is associated with a particular team or service. Currently, ownership and visibility may become unclear as virtual machines are linked or configured in different setups. By introducing attribute inheritance and visibility, we could ensure that attributes such as ownership, team membership, and technical leadership visibility remain consistent and readily apparent, even when virtual machines are linked within diverse structures.
Benefits:
-
Enhanced Management: The proposed feature would streamline the management of virtual machines, making it easier to identify ownership and team affiliations across various configurations.
-
Clear Ownership: By allowing attributes to be inherited or made visible, we can ensure that the ownership of virtual machines is easily discernible, aiding in accountability and support.
-
Improved Collaboration: Team leaders and technical leads can have a clearer view of the virtual machines under their purview, even in complex service arrangements.
-
Efficient Troubleshooting: When investigating issues or optimizing resources, having readily available information about ownership and team assignments can expedite the troubleshooting process.
We believe that this feature aligns well with our commitment to providing a robust and user-friendly development environment. If feasible, we kindly request your consideration in prioritizing the development and implementation of this attribute inheritance and visibility feature.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to the opportunity to discuss this suggestion further and collaborate on its potential implementation.
