Provisioning cloud resource instances associated with a virtual cloud network

A method, comprising:

• detecting, during a provisioning process for a cloud resource instance associated with a virtual cloud network, a certificate bundle-retrieval trigger;
• responsive to detecting the certificate bundle-retrieval trigger, sending, to a network interface linked to the cloud resource instance, a request for a certificate bundle for the cloud resource instance;
• receiving from the network interface, the certificate bundle for the cloud resource instance, the certificate bundle comprising a set of certificate authority (CA) certificates;
• installing the certificate bundle in a storage medium associated with the cloud resource instance, wherein installing the certificate bundle represents an operation of the provisioning process,
• wherein the method is performed using at least one hardware device.

A system, comprising:

• at least one hardware processor;
• the system being configured to execute operations, using the at least one hardware processor, the operations comprising:
• detecting, during a provisioning process for a cloud resource instance associated with a virtual cloud network, a certificate bundle-retrieval trigger;
• responsive to detecting the certificate bundle-retrieval trigger, sending, to a network interface linked to the cloud resource instance, a request for a certificate bundle for the cloud resource instance;
• receiving from the network interface, the certificate bundle for the cloud resource instance, the certificate bundle comprising a set of certificate authority (CA) certificates;
• installing the certificate bundle in a storage medium associated with the cloud resource instance, wherein installing the certificate bundle represents an operation of the provisioning process.
