# Compute Policy API samples
This directory contains samples for the Compute Policy APIs.
## Compute Policy workflow
`compute_policy_workflow.py` uses the compute policy APIs to create a policy of VM-Host affinity capability and checks the compliance status of the policy for a particular virtual machine after the virtual machine is powered on.
## Testbed requirements
- 1 vCenter server.
- 1 cluster on the vCenter server with DRS enabled.
- At least 2 hosts and 1 virtual machine in the cluster.
- A tag that can be associated with virtual machines and a tag that can be associated with hosts. Please refer to the [tagging samples](https://gitlab.eng.vmware.com/vapi-sdk/vsphere-automation-sdk-python/tree/cloud/samples/vsphere/tagging) for more information on creating categories, tags and tag associations.
## Running the sample
```
python3 samples/vsphere/compute_policy/compute_policy_workflow.py \
-s <vcenter-ip> \
-u <username> \
-p <password> \
-v -c \
-n <name-for-the-policy> \
-vn <name-of-the-vm> \
-vt <name-of-the-tag-that-can-be-associated-with-vms> \
-hn <host-name> \
-ht <name-of-the-tag-that-can-be-associated-with-hosts> \
```
##### Sample output
```
vcenter server = 10.192.174.79
vc username = Administrator@vsphere.local
