Public bug reported: cloud-init runs pollinate via 'cc_seed_random.py' config job.
Some points a.) in addition to seeding via pollinate seed_random will seed the random device with data from the datasource if it is provided (azure and openstack provide a random seed for this purpose) b.) we really want seed_random to run before ssh , so that keys are generated with good entropy in place. c.) seed_random runs early via 'init_modules' mostly to accomplish 'b'. Unfortunately, network is not guaranteed at this point if the datasource is a 'local' datasource (such as config drive). e.) in many cases pollinate will not have access to https://entropy.ubuntu.com (due to firewall or disconnected) f.) in xenial, cloud-init reports events to maas as they occur, and when this module fails, it reports that. g.) maas marks nodes as failed deployment when cloud-init reports failure End result, if you dont have access to entropy.ubuntu.com, then you fail deployment.
