Cloud Zones in VMware Aria
Operations
VMware Aria
Operations
Cloud zones help you to group a set of compute resources and assign capability tags
to the zone. The cloud zone is based on accounts/regions, so you must have at least one
cloud account configured before you can create a cloud zone. Cloud zones define where and
how blueprints configure deployments. You can have one or many cloud zones assigned to each
project based on priority and limits.
