In VCF 9.0, the Region construct acts as the bridge between physical vSphere infrastructure and the logical automation consumption layer. Storage policies (SPBM) are used to abstract the underlying physical datastores (such as vSAN, VMFS, or vVOLs). A region identifies which storage policies are available for consumption by the tenant organizations mapped to it. Consequently, storage policies determine which datastores are available within a region; if a datastore is not associated with a policy selected during region configuration, it cannot be used for workload placement. Furthermore, a storage policy can be associated with one or more regions. This allows a provider to offer standardized "Gold," "Silver," or "Bronze" storage tiers across different geographic or logical regions of the VCF fleet, ensuring a consistent consumption experience for developers regardless of which physical workload domain their virtual machines or Kubernetes pods are deployed into.
