IBM Cloud - Structured Ideas
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Cloud and its products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

hello Chris thanks for reaching out! I posted the questions in the internal comments, perhaps you do not have access to it.
Which customers are questing these enhancement? Do you have any opportunities associated?
I'd love to provide more information (as the status requests), but I thought I was pretty comprehensive with the original request, and I don't see any questions or comments to respond to.
Azure has usefully-sized swap disks - IBM doesn't. 🤷♀️

Microsoft recommends "3 × RAM or 4 GB, whichever is larger". So for example, our VM with 32GB RAM should have ~96GB of swap drive available, instead of the current 2GB. (And again, note that the default 100GB OS drive would barely suffice even if it were completely empty, which it isn't).
