About this task
When you change the resources that are included in a job, Cloud Cost Management checks for the following conditions:
- A resource in the job is owned by another user (as when a insights_admin updates a job that was created by an insights_owner or an insights_owner updates a job that was created by a different insights_owner).
- The job was created by another user.
If either condition is met, the app sends an email notification to the owner of the resource or the creator of the job.
Note: If a recommendation to rightsize a Google Cloud resource is dismissed from the Google Cloud management portal, the resource doesn't appear in Rightsizing recommendations.
Procedure
Navigate to Cloud Cost Management Workspace > Operations > Recommendations > Rightsizing.
In the list on the appropriate tab, select the check boxes for the resources to rightsize.
- To create a Rightsizing job for resources that are new candidates for rightsizing: On the New Recommendations tab, select resources and then select Schedule.
- To create a new job for resources that had previously been scheduled but were not resized: On the Declined Recommendations tab or the Failed Recommendations tab, select resources and then select Reschedule.
- In the dialog box, fill in the fields.

Result
The Rightsizing job is created and will run at the scheduled time.
- Until a member of the change group approves or rejects the change, the resource state is set to Pending, the resource remains listed on reports, and no other action is taken.
- If a member of the change group approves the request, the state is set to Approved and the resource is added to the list of resources that the job will resize.
- If a member of the change group rejects the request, the resource state is set to Declined, the resource remains listed on reports, and no action is taken.
