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.
