5.2.3 Policies
Policies govern end-user behavior in vCloud environments. When creating an organization, specify policies for the total number of running and stored virtual machines according to the following definitions:
*Running VM quota refers to the maximum number of powered on virtual machines.
*Stored VM quota refers to the maximum number of all virtual machines, including powered off virtual machines.
Lease policies govern the persistence of vApps and vApp templates in an organization virtual datacenter. Specify the maximum length of time vApps can run and be stored in the organization virtual datacenters, according to the following definitions:
*The maximum runtime lease specifies the amount of time vApps can run before vCloud Director automatically stops them.
*The storage lease specifies the amount of time vApps or vApp templates are stored before vCloud Director automatically performs storage cleanup.
Lease policies can also be set to never expire. When any option for storage lease except the never expire option is selected, the storage is automatically cleaned up. Storage cleanup options include the following:
*Permanently deleted – After the lease expires, the vApp or vApp template is automatically deleted.
*Moved to expired items – Flags the vApps or vApp templates for deletion. Items move to the expired items view where they are unusable unless the lease is renewed.
