Hi. This issue affected us on Xenial; we explicitly enable systemd- networkd on our images (when creating our AMI), and after a recent AMI rebuild we were no longer able to start our AMIs. When I looked at the system console we saw things that looked like:
[ 52.866176] cloud-init[721]: Cloud-init v. 0.7.8 running 'init' at Wed, 30 Nov 2016 03:13:22 +0000. Up 51.74 seconds.

(Text above included mostly in case anybody else sees the same issue and searches for the error.) I tested with xenial-proposed and 229-4ubuntu13, and it fixed the issue. I'd love to see this fix in stable xenial soon! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1636912 Title: systemd-networkd runs too late for cloud-init.service (net) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/systemd/+bug/1636912/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
