Create Placement Policy

Placement policies control how DCM decides which service provider should handle a catalog item instance. Policies are written in Rego, the policy language used by Open Policy Agent (OPA). Each policy can accept or reject a placement request and optionally select a specific provider.

Policies have a priority — lower values are evaluated first.

Define the Policy

Create a file called kubevirt-policy.yaml with the following content:

display_name: kubevirt-provider
policy_type: GLOBAL
priority: 1
rego_code: |
  package kubevirt

  main := {
   "rejected": false,
   "selected_provider": "kubevirt-service-provider"
  }

This policy:

• Has the highest priority (1)
• Always selects kubevirt-service-provider as the target service provider
• Never rejects a request (rejected: false)

Create the Policy

dcm policy create --from-file kubevirt-policy.yaml

Verify the Policy

dcm policy list

You can also view a specific policy in YAML format:

dcm policy get <POLICY_ID> -o yaml
