A cloud zone in VMware Aria Automation is used to segregate resources for provisioning within a cloud account. It acts as a logical partition within a cloud account that organizes compute resources, which are used for deploying workloads. Cloud zones allow administrators to control the distribution of resources and ensure that specific projects or business units can deploy their workloads only within the designated zones.
This segregation helps in managing resource allocation more efficiently and can also support various organizational policies and compliance requirements by isolating environments such as development, testing, and production.
