The VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 networking design documentation specifies that container workloads running on VMware Kubernetes Service (VKS) with NSX networking require external connectivity via a Centralized Connectivity model. This is implemented using an NSX Tier-0 (T0) Gateway which provides north-south routing to the corporate physical network.

The guide states: “In VKS deployments backed by NSX networking, workloads achieve external reachability through a centralized Tier-0 Gateway, ensuring integration with corporate networking and enterprise services.” This model ensures traffic consolidation, policy enforcement, and simplified routing for Kubernetes workloads.

Round-robin Connectivity is not a supported NSX gateway connectivity model.

Distributed Connectivity refers to east-west NSX overlay communication, not north-south connectivity.

Physical Connectivity is not precise, as workloads do not connect directly to the physical network; instead, they use logical routing.

Centralized Connectivity is the correct model, where the T0 Gateway centralizes external routing for container workloads.

In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0, the VCF Service Broker is the component responsible for providing a self-service catalog of available services, blueprints, and content to end users in the VM Apps tenant. The documentation explains:

“Service Broker acts as the catalog service for VM-based and cloud-native applications, allowing organizations to expose curated content to end users while applying policies, constraints, and governance.”

VCF Operations Orchestrator (A) provides workflow automation but does not expose services directly in a self-service catalog.

VCF Assembler (B) is used for designing blueprints and application templates but not for publishing them to end users.

VCF Config (D) is responsible for infrastructure configuration management and desired state compliance, not catalog services.

Thus, the correct component for the catalog is the VCF Service Broker.

The VCF Health feature “ provides a central location for monitoring the health of your environment ,” including the ability to track “ vCenter Server instances ,” “ ESXi hosts ,” and “ NSX deployments .” Health monitoring includes connectivity, configuration, and critical services status, surfacing alerts for remediation. The documentation’s scope statements make clear that VCF Health targets the infrastructure components —vCenter, ESXi, and NSX—rather than the VCF Operations applications themselves (for example, Fleet Management or Logs). Therefore, the correct monitored components are ESX hosts , vCenter Server , and NSX .
