In VCF 9.0, Policies are the most scalable way to enforce compliance and operational standards across an organization without modifying individual blueprints. To ensure all VMs are automatically protected by VMware Live Recovery (VLR) , the administrator should Create a Day 2 policy . This policy type can be configured to automatically apply a " VLR Protection Group " assignment as a post-provisioning step. By attaching the policy to all catalog items within the Finance Organization, the administrator guarantees that regardless of which blueprint a user chooses, the protection logic is consistently applied. This " Policy-as-Code " approach is superior to manual event subscriptions (Option A) or individual catalog items (Option B) because it centralizes governance; if the protection requirements change, the admin only needs to update the single policy rather than dozens of separate scripts or subscriptions. This ensures that the Finance team’s workloads remain compliant with disaster recovery mandates from the moment they are deployed.
