Two very different things:

Lucy said: "some VMs may not need to communicate" … but that could change, and 
is not dictated by policy, but rather by current need.

IMO, what you are asking calls for VM_A_01 and VM_A_02-07 to be in (say) VN_A, 
and VM_A_08 and VM_B_x in different VN(s) (not sure what the numbering means, 
but I'm just going with the flow.)

If one were to put VM_A_01 and VM_A_08 in the same VN, one would have to 
hand-craft the intra-VN policies.  Doable, but not scalable (administratively). 
 For example, what happens if a new VM, VM_A_22 shows up (elasticity) … who can 
it talk to?
