Hello Brian,

I have been testing netplan.io 0.100-0ubuntu4~20.04.3 on Focal according
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetplanUpdates, i.e. having all the
integration tests run on autopkgtest.u.c and appending the logs to the
bug report (see above).

All tests run successfully, except for the known FLAKY wifi tests, which
are marked as such.

** Description changed:

  Problem description:
  If we try to deploy a single-NIC machine via MAAS, configuring an Open 
vSwitch bridge as the primary/PXE interface, the machine will install and boot 
Ubuntu 20.04 but it cannot finish the whole configuration (e.g. copying of SSH 
keys) and cannot be accessed/controlled via MAAS. It ends up in a "Failed" 
state.
  
  This is because systemd-network-wait-online.service fails (for some
  reason), before netplan can fully setup and configure the OVS bridge.
  Because of broken networking cloud-init cannot complete its final
  stages, like setup of SSH keys or signaling its state back to MAAS. If
  we wait a little longer the OVS bridge will actually come online and
  networking is working – SSH not being setup and MAAS state still
  "Failed", though.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  * Setup a (virtual) MAAS system, e.g. inside a LXD container using a KVM 
host, as described here:
  
https://discourse.maas.io/t/setting-up-a-flexible-virtual-maas-test-environment/142
  * Install & setup maas[-cli] snap from 2.9/beta channel (instead of the 
deb/PPA from the discourse post)
  * Configure netplan PPA+key for testing via "Settings" -> "Package repos":
  https://launchpad.net/~slyon/+archive/ubuntu/ovs
  * Prepare curtin preseed in /var/snap/maas/current/preseeds/curtin_userdata, 
inside the LXD container (so you can access the broken machine afterwards):
  ======================
  #cloud-config
  debconf_selections:
   maas: |
    {{for line in str(curtin_preseed).splitlines()}}
    {{line}}
    {{endfor}}
  late_commands:
    maas: [wget, '--no-proxy', '{{node_disable_pxe_url}}', '--post-data', 
'{{node_disable_pxe_data}}', '-O', '/dev/null']
    90_create_user: ["curtin", "in-target", "--", "sh", "-c", "sudo useradd 
test -g 0 -G sudo"]
    92_set_user_password: ["curtin", "in-target", "--", "sh", "-c", "echo 
'test:test' | sudo chpasswd"]
    94_cat: ["curtin", "in-target", "--", "sh", "-c", "cat /etc/passwd"]
    98_cloud_init: ["curtin", "in-target", "--", "apt-get", "-y", "install", 
"cloud-init"]
  ======================
  * Compose a new virtual machine via MAAS' "KVM" menu, named e.g. "test1"
  * Watch it being commissioned via MAAS' "Machines" menu
  * Once it's ready select your machine (e.g. "test1.maas") -> Network
  * Select the single network interface (e.g. "ens4") -> Create bridge
  * Choose "Bridge type: Open vSwitch (ovs)", Select "Subnet" and "IP mode", 
save.
  * Deploy machine to Ubuntu 20.04 via "Take action" button
  
  The machine will install the OS and boot, but will end up in a "Failed"
  state inside MAAS due to network/OVS not being setup correctly. MAAS/SSH
  has no control over it. You can access the (broken) machine via serial
  console from the KVM-host (i.e. LXD container) via "virsh console test1"
  using the "test:test" credentials.

  [Impact]
  This update contains bug-fixes and packaging improvements and we would like 
to make sure all of our supported customers have access to these improvements.
  
  The notable ones are:
  
-    * Setup OVS early in network-pre.target to avoid delays (LP:

  See the changelog entry below for a full list of changes and bugs.
  
  [Test Case]
  The following development and SRU process was followed:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetplanUpdates
  
  Netplan contains an extensive integration test suite that is ran using
  the SRU package for each releases. This test suite's results are available 
here:
  http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/n/netplan.io
  
  A successful run is required before the proposed netplan package
  can be let into -updates.
  
  The netplan team will be in charge of attaching the artifacts and console
  output of the appropriate run to the bug. Netplan team members will not
  mark ‘verification-done’ until this has happened.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the
  aforementioned integration tests are attached to this bug.

  [Discussion]
- To fully fix the MAAS/OVS problem, cloud-init needs to be updated as well. 
The fixes to netplan.io and cloud-init can be applied indenepdently, though.
