VCF 9.0 introduces enhanced security requirements for Operations Orchestrator integration, specifically regarding the execution of custom extensibility logic. A common cause for a workflow failing to trigger, even when the provisioning process itself is successful, is that the workflow is not signed . By default, VCF 9.0 Automation enforces a security policy that requires all custom workflows to be digitally signed by a trusted certificate before the Event Broker Service (EBS) will execute them. This prevents unauthorized or malicious scripts from running within the management plane of the private cloud. If the workflow is not signed, the EBS will silently ignore the trigger or log a security violation in the background, while the main VM provisioning—which is a separate process—continues to completion. The administrator must import the developer certificate into the Orchestrator and sign the workflow package to authorize its execution in the production environment.
