A.

The feature that meets the requirement described in the question is VNF (Virtual Network Function) Service Chaining.

VNF Service Chaining is a feature of Cisco SD-WAN that allows branch routers to analyze and steer traffic towards the required network function. This is achieved by deploying virtual network functions (VNFs) on the branch routers, which can perform network services such as routing, firewall, and WAN optimization.

The VNFs can be deployed in a chain, meaning that traffic can be steered from one VNF to another in a specific order, based on the required network service. For example, traffic could be steered from a routing VNF to a firewall VNF to a WAN optimization VNF.

This service chaining capability enables organizations to optimize cost and user experience with applications in the network. By steering traffic to the appropriate VNF, organizations can ensure that their network resources are being used efficiently and that users are experiencing optimal application performance.

Cloud onRamp for Colocation, Cloud onRamp for IaaS, and Cloud Services Platform are other features of Cisco SD-WAN, but they do not directly relate to the regionalized service-chaining requirement described in the question.
