Troubleshooting

VIPs pending forever, a retryable error that never stops retrying, and an ordering rule the docs don’t tell you: in a self-service NSX VPC, the LBService must exist before the namespace that will use it.

Everything that made the nested-esxi-pod blueprint fail validation before it worked: ${input} inside flow mappings, name vs generateName, flat zones, contentSources, one-published-version, validation-in-status, and the image-sync race. Short, specific, and each one cost me a cycle.
