Set per region, this is the share of compute and storage that VCF Automation grants an All Apps organization: VM classes and storage classes cover the whole quota, and CPU and memory are given zone by zone. An organisation can hold just one per region, every quota has a limit, and VM Apps organizations are not subject to them.

Terms in this definition
- Set
Secret permission in Key Vault for writing secrets; some older material refers to it as Create.
- region
A provider-defined grouping in VCF Automation of Supervisors that all share one NSX Local Manager; tenants consume its compute, storage and memory via quotas set per region.
- Share
In OpenSharing, the container you fill with tables, views, volumes, models and notebooks for recipients. You need
CREATE SHAREon the metastore to make one; add a schema and all its assets, including later ones, go with history. - General-purpose v1
The older storage account kind (
Storage), which lacks access tiers, Archive and premium file shares and retires on 13 October 2026. Converting to ZRS requires first upgrading to GPv2, a one-way change. - VCF Automation
Self-service platform in VCF for provisioning VM, Kubernetes and AI workloads. Providers manage regions and tenants in one portal, while tenants handle projects and consumption in theirs.
- All Apps organization
VCF Automation's main way of hosting tenants (VM Apps being the other organization type). Tenants never see vSphere or NSX: they use VMs, VKS clusters and more from projects and vSphere Namespaces running on Supervisors with NSX VPC networking, separated from each other by namespace and NSX project boundaries.
- CPU
The processor that runs a VM's workload (central processing unit); while B-series VMs run under their baseline, they accumulate CPU credits.
- LIMIT
Caps how many rows a SQL query gives back. Don't treat what you get as random or representative.

Replacing the pricing and billing once done in VMware Cloud Director, this VCF Operations feature in VCF 9.0 bills VCF Automation tenants using rate cards the provider sets per organization or region quota. Usage data arrives through the NSX, vCenter and VCF Automation management packs.
- vSphere Namespace
An area on a Supervisor, with caps on CPU, memory, storage and Kubernetes objects, in which VMs, vSphere Pods, VKS clusters and Supervisor Services run. VCF Automation creates them within a project, drawing on the organisation's region quota.
