These checks happen before systemd-resolved is up[0] and if they resolve unsuccessfully they take 25 seconds to complete. This has substantial impact on boot time in all contexts, because cloud-init attempts to resolve three known-invalid addresses ("does- not-exist.example.com.", "example.invalid." and a random string) to enable it to detect when it's running in an environment where a DNS server will always return some sort of redirect. As such, we're talking a minimum impact of 75 seconds in all environments. This increases when cloud-init is configured to check for multiple environments. This means that yakkety is consistently taking 2-3 minutes to boot on EC2 and GCE, compared to the ~30 seconds of the first boot and ~10 seconds thereafter in xenial.
