Aria Automation deployments hanging when using extensibility to accept Salt minion keys

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

Aria Automation workflows may hang during VM deployments and fail when using extensibility workflows

Environment

Aria Automation 8.16+

Aria Config 8.14+

Cause

The extensibility workflow may be leveraged to process the minion key acceptance on the Salt master. If this is not done with `salt-key -y <MINION_ID>` then the command may cause the workflow to fail.

Resolution

Update the extensibility workflow script to run the salt-key -y <MINION_ID> command to ensure that it returns successfully.
