Can the Automation Broker be installed on a virtual machine?

I was wondering if anyone has experience installing the AB on a virtual machine? Is this possible? What are the challenges faced if there are any? There is nothing in the doc about this. Thanks in advance.

Yes you can. We have several Virtual servers running on ESXi, and we have broker docker containers running on them. The only issues we're experiencing is occasional errors in SOAR that say "Failed to communicate with Automation Broker" - which I think is a result of our corporate network more than anything else.

But as long as your VM can communicate with SOAR, I can't see any reason why a broker wouldn't work on the VM.
