Using Container Deployment Policies
You can link deployment policies to hosts and container definitions. You use deployment policies in
Containers for vRealize Automation to set a preference for the specific host and quotas for when you
deploy a container.
Deployment policies that are applied to a container have a higher priority than placements that are
applied to container hosts.
Create and Manage Container Placements and Placement Zones
You can use placements and placement zones to limit and reserve resources used by a business group.
You can also set a priority to the reserved amount of memory.
You can edit or delete the placements you created by pointing at them and clicking the corresponding
button.
When you create or manage placements, you can click the Placement Zones button to the right to add or
manage placement zones.
Note If you configured a VCH, the placement and placement zone are automatically configured and
cannot be changed. You must assign a business group to the placement, by clicking the Edit icon.
