Hi @niuk,

could you hit Ctrl-C and check /var/log/cloud-init*.log files ?

Is Internet reachable from the VM ?

[niuk]

Yes, Internet is fine, I can ping 8.8.8.8. Regarding logs, see below. Address 10.73.21.215 is my dns, based on the ip 169.254.169.254 appearing in logs , it looks like some dns name was not resolved correctly . I added public dns to network interface config and rebooted , will see in a few

Now dns resolution is fine

ubuntu@minemeld:~$ nslookup www.google.com
Server:         8.8.8.8
Address:        8.8.8.8#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   www.google.com
Address: 172.217.7.132

but same thing in cloud-init-*.log with http://169.254.169.254/ and failed to fetch password from virtual router 10.73.21.215 which is my internal dns address

Hi @niuk,

could you check /var/log/cloud-config-output.log for details ?

Is DHCP working ok ?

(please note that it could have been the S3 outage causing the error)
