Resolution

Using "vi", comment out the "127.0.0.1#53" entry in the "/etc/resolv.conf" on both the Fleet and Ops appliances.

Before: 

# See man:systemd-resolved.service(8) for details about the supported modes of
# operation for /etc/resolv.conf.

127.0.0.1:53
DNS-Server1
DNS-Server2

After: 

# See man:systemd-resolved.service(8) for details about the supported modes of
# operation for /etc/resolv.conf.

#127.0.0.1:53
DNS-Server1

Restart the workflow from the Ops appliance UI.
