I disagree that the image should be optimized by default to prioritize the one-time startup performance of an optional use case. 15 seconds vs 30 seconds, on a thing that won't affect most cloud customers, and happens at most once per image, AND should be weighed against the first-boot speed improvements in clouds resulting from having a smaller image? Also, statically seeding a particular base snap is bad form, as soon as lxd upgrades its base you lose your performance benefit and have to play catch-up in a stable release. If "time to initialize lxd" is your metric, I think you're measuring the wrong thing :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2051572 Title: Always preseed core and snapd snap in server seed Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-meta source package in Noble: New Bug description: In removing the LXD snap from preseeding in the server seed for Ubuntu 24.04 as part LP #2051346 [1] we also removed the snapd snap and the core22 snap. This means that are subsequent snap install, like LXD, will take much longer than expected for a non minimized image. Time taken to install LXD snap using the lxd-installer package without snapd and core22 preinstalled/seeded ``` ubuntu@cloudimg:~$ time sudo lxd --version Installing LXD snap, please be patient. 5.19 real 0m29.107s user 0m0.006s sys 0m0.005s ``` Time taken to install LXD snap using the lxd-installer package with snapd and core22 already installed. ``` ubuntu@cloudimg:~$ time sudo lxd --version Installing LXD snap, please be patient. 5.19 real 0m15.034s user 0m0.005s sys 0m0.005s ``` This is a significant difference and for a workload we intend to remain as a core tested and tracked workload. As such I propose we re- introduce core22 and snapd snaps to our seed. LXD do intend to move to the core24 snap as their base as I'm sure snapd does too so when that does happen we need to update the preseeded core snap.
