In VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0.4, automation and governance are enforced through VCF Automation policies built on VMware Aria Automation Service Broker.

Two policies directly address the customer’s requirements:

Resource Quota Policy — Controls total active resource consumption by defining limits on CPU, memory, and storage at the organization, project, or user level.

“Resource quota policies control the amount of resources that are available to your users. You define these policies to limit the resources consumed by each user, project, or the organization.”

Approval Policy — Ensures governance and validation before resource deployment or modification.

“Approval policies are used to control deployment and day-2 action requests before they are executed. Requests are evaluated and approved by designated users or roles to ensure they meet organizational policies.”

Deployment Limit Policies (option D) apply to per-deployment limits but do not govern total user-level resource consumption. Therefore, the correct combination of policies that satisfy both governance and consumption control requirements is Resource Quota Policy and Approval Policy.
