OK. I think I've figured out what is causing this. in 100% of the failed instances that I'm seeing today, the instance has its public ip identical to its private ip.
Ie, the following is euca-describe-instances output of a failed instance: INSTANCE i-2F1A0573 emi-E58B1525 172.19.1.48 172.19.1.48 running uectest-k0 0 m1.small 2010-05-20T15:34:28.275Z UEC-TEST1 eki-2B241A2B And this is from a successful instance: INSTANCE i-37A30725 emi-E58B1525 10.55.55.187 172.19.1.34 running uectest-k0 0 m1.small 2010-05-20T15:34:06.874Z UEC-TEST1 eki-2B241A2B Note, these instances were not launched with '--addressing private'. $ euca-describe-addreses | sort ADDRESS 10.55.55.100 i-4A34090E (eucalyptus) ADDRESS 10.55.55.101 available (nobody) ADDRESS 10.55.55.102 available (eucalyptus) ...
