In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0, the governance of Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) allows for granular control over networking parameters. When a VPC is created in VCF 9.0, a VPC Connectivity Profile is automatically generated specifically for that instance if a pre-existing shared profile is not selected.

According to the VCF 9.0 Administration Guide (Networking Section):

VPC Isolation: Each NSX VPC serves as a distinct, isolated administrative and data plane boundary. While multiple VPCs can reside within a single NSX Project, their configurations—including the connectivity profiles—can be managed independently.

Profile Modification Impact: When an administrator edits the NSX Connectivity profile for a specific NSX Project and VPC, the system treats this as a targeted configuration update. Because the profile in this scenario was "generated automatically when the NSX VPC was created," it is uniquely associated with that specific VPC's lifecycle.

Scoped Changes: Modifying this specific profile does not trigger a global update across the entire VCF Automation organization, nor does it affect other VPCs within the project that may be using their own automatically generated or distinct profiles. This ensures that changes to one tenant's or application's networking environment do not cause unintended disruptions to others.

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.

VCF 9.0 introduces Log Data Transfer initiated from VCF Operations. The docs say: “You can transfer log data for up to 90 days from Aria Operations for Logs 8.x… The migrated logs are stored in VCF Operations for logs.” and “To transfer logs… navigate to the Logs Data Transfer card in Administration > Control Panel… click the INITIATE TRANSFER button… You can select the duration of logs to transfer…” (emphasis added).

They further clarify that simple forwarding does not transfer already ingested logs: “Forward logs… does not transfer already ingested logs. Transfer historical logs up to 90 days… using the Log Data Transfer feature in VCF Operations.”

Hence, the correct action is to initiate the transfer in VCF Operations (Administration > Control Panel > Logs Data Transfer).
