I found no Ordering cycle breaks that would imply that the google-guest- agent got "unloaded" from the primary boot target objectives in journalctl.
Attached is the journalctl from a machine that was only launched and rebooted 1. After the reboot you can egrep 'GCE|gpasswd' to see the operations of google-guest-agent finally start to occur. ** Attachment added: "2boot_google_guest_agent_journalctl.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/google-guest-agent/+bug/1938299/+attachment/5516394/+files/2boot_google_guest_agent_journalctl.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1938299 Title: Unable to SSH Into Instance when deploying Impish 21.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1938299/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
