Volumez Policies API is one of 39 APIs that [Volumez](https://apis.io/providers/volumez/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. This API exposes 1 JSON Schema definition. Tagged areas include Policies. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, authentication docs, rate-limit docs, and 1 JSON Schema.

Policies allow you to declare the desired characteristics of volumes you will later create. Policies are expressed in terms of outcomes (such as desired performance and resiliency). When you later ask Volumez to create volumes using a policy, it will automatically allocate and configure whatever is necessary to match these desired outcomes.
