Package: cloud.debian.org Severity: important Hi,
I tried to launch in instance from the latest stretch ami (ami-772ab761 i.e. us-east-1) into a VPC. It failed - more specifically networking.service failed. Here's the relevant output from syslog: [ [0;1;31mFAILED [0m] Failed to start Raise network interfaces. See 'systemctl status networking.service' for details. Starting Initial cloud-init job (metadata service crawler)... [ [0;32m OK [0m] Reached target Network. [ 9.288945] cloud-init[390]: Cloud-init v. 0.7.9 running 'init' at Mon, 22 May 2017 09:14:57 +0000. Up 9.19 seconds.

Can't provide any more details since I couldn't access the instance :-) . This is easy to reproduce. Launch a t2.micro from the ami, specify a VPC (create if necessary), enable public IP and launch. Try to ssh into the instance. This may be related to Bug#745587 (https://lists.debian.org/debian-cloud/2017/04/msg00017.html). In any case, not being able to launch into a VPC seems pretty severe, all things considered.
