In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0, the governance of Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) allows for granular control over networking parameters. When a VPC is created in VCF 9.0, a VPC Connectivity Profile is automatically generated specifically for that instance if a pre-existing shared profile is not selected.

According to the VCF 9.0 Administration Guide (Networking Section):

VPC Isolation: Each NSX VPC serves as a distinct, isolated administrative and data plane boundary. While multiple VPCs can reside within a single NSX Project, their configurations—including the connectivity profiles—can be managed independently.

Profile Modification Impact: When an administrator edits the NSX Connectivity profile for a specific NSX Project and VPC, the system treats this as a targeted configuration update. Because the profile in this scenario was "generated automatically when the NSX VPC was created," it is uniquely associated with that specific VPC's lifecycle.

Scoped Changes: Modifying this specific profile does not trigger a global update across the entire VCF Automation organization, nor does it affect other VPCs within the project that may be using their own automatically generated or distinct profiles. This ensures that changes to one tenant's or application's networking environment do not cause unintended disruptions to others.
