Issue: https://vmw-jira.broadcom.net/browse/AV-211558
Summary
Terraform timeouts were caused by insufficient memory allocated to the controller VM. The module currently configures the controller with 24 GB RAM, which is not adequate for newer controller versions.
Details
Reproduced the issue consistently with 24 GB RAM, where the controller failed to reach a ready state and Terraform timed out while waiting for the API.
Increasing the memory to 30–34 GB allowed the controller to boot successfully and Terraform to complete reliably.
Validated this behavior by reducing an existing controller from 32 GB to 24 GB (failed to come up even after several hours) and restoring it back to 32 GB, which resolved the issue.
Fix
Updated the VMware module to increase the controller VM memory to prevent boot delays and Terraform execution timeouts.
