Hi Lucian,

- We are showing number of cores on the instances metrics view
- We can increase the width of the container/list-view but the UI assumes 
1024px to be the width and with this assumption several widgets/css rules are 
put in place, so it's a challenge to get it right without breaking seen/unseen 
widgets and views. For such reasons, the columns are made collapsible to hide a 
group of columns in case you don't want to use horizontal scrolling and widths 
of columns made shorter to pack more information (increase the information 
density). The other issue is all the widgets you see are created by JS code 
(directly using DOM manupulations) so it's hard to reason about responsive 
widgets (many have fixed widths, or absolute positions based on where the 
container starts etc). I can try if we can somehow implement a responsive 
design/container.

Regards.

Great work Rohit,

What I'd like to see:
- vCPU list/count for instance metrics (GHz is meaningless to me)
- can we make the whole thing wider so we can fit more columns there without 
that ugly horizontal scroll bar? So much wasted screen space
