vsphere.VmStoragePolicy

Explore with Pulumi AI

The vsphere.VmStoragePolicy resource can be used to create and manage storage policies. Using this resource, tag based placement rules can be created to place virtual machines on a datastore with matching tags. If storage requirements for the applications on the virtual machine change, you can modify the storage policy that was originally applied to the virtual machine.

Example Usage

The following example creates storage policies with tag_rules base on sets of environment, service level, and replication attributes.

In this example, tags are first applied to datastores.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as vsphere from "@pulumi/vsphere";

const environment = vsphere.getTagCategory({
    name: "environment",
});
const serviceLevel = vsphere.getTagCategory({
    name: "service_level",

});
const production = vsphere.getTag({
    name: "production",
    categoryId: "data.vsphere_tag_category.environment.id",
});
const development = vsphere.getTag({
    name: "development",
    categoryId: "data.vsphere_tag_category.environment.id",

const platinum = vsphere.getTag({

});
const gold = vsphere.getTag({

const silver = vsphere.getTag({

});
const nonReplicated = vsphere.getTag({
    name: "non_replicated",
