Issue
If you are using self-signed certificates with a custom CA in your organisation, you need to supply the trusted root files to the trusted root CA store within alpine linux in order to make an SSL-encrypted connection.
Disabling certificate verification with
VSPHERE_IGNORE_SSL=TRUE
is not viable in production environments.Solution
Add the trusted root certificates to the alpine linux trusted root store.
