Timeouts that long usually indicate that your instances are misidentifying a datasource and trying to connect to it. Check the last few lines of /run/cloud/ds-identify.log and ensure the datasource detected is what you're expecting. If not, ideally that would be fixed in your image/cloud setup, but you can also manually specify the datasource(s) to use/detect in /etc/cloud.cfg or /etc/cloud.cfg.d. For example, to specify using only Openstack, you could write
datasource_list: [ Openstack ] to /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99_datasource.cfg. Note that if a single datasource is specified, cloud-init will automatically use it. If more than one is specified, cloud-init (via an early boot script called ds-identify) will check to see which datasource it should be using. If no suitable datasource can be found, cloud-init will be disabled. If that's not helping, Openstack timeouts can also be configured in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg[.d]. The details can be found here: https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/datasources/openstack.html#configuration Hope that helps!
