Abstract
An example method is provided to perform policy-based data placement in a virtualized computing environment. The method may comprise receiving a request to create a virtual disk for a virtual machine in the virtualized computing environment. The request may include a usage type associated with the virtual disk. The method may further comprise, based on a data placement policy associated with the usage type, determining a datastore on which to place the virtual disk and to store data of the usage type associated with the virtual disk.
