Hi Kimball, Thanks for the bug report! We need more information to be able to triage it further. Could you please run `cloud-init collect-logs` on an affected instance and attach the tarball it produces to this bug? (Once done, please move the cloud-init task back to New and we'll take a look. :)
Thanks!

Google reported boot delays of 75 minutes. I've tracked this down to the following import in templater.py which causes the delay: from jinja2 import Template as JTemplate Which is called when cc_update_etc_hosts is imported.
