Bug description:
This is a request to make a change in the hv-kvp-daemon systemd
service which is part of the linux-cloud-tools-common package to
ensure the hv-kvp-daemon service starts before the walinuxagent
service. The default dependencies make hv-kvp-daemon wait until the
whole system is up before it can start.
Currently the /lib/systemd/system/hv-kvp-daemon.service file looks
like this:
====================
# On Azure/Hyper-V systems start the hv_kvp_daemon
#
# author "Andy Whitcroft <[email protected]>"
[Unit]
Description=Hyper-V KVP Protocol Daemon
ConditionVirtualization=microsoft
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/hv_kvp_daemon -n
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
====================
The suggested modification is to make the [Unit] section look like
this:
[Unit]
Description=Hyper-V KVP Protocol Daemon
ConditionVirtualization=microsoft
DefaultDependencies=no
After=systemd-remount-fs.service
Before=shutdown.target cloud-init-local.service walinuxagent.service
Conflicts=shutdown.target
RequiresMountsFor=/var/lib/hyperv
The hv-kvp-daemon service is not currently part of the critical-chain:
$ systemd-analyze critical-chain
The time after the unit is active or started is printed after the "@"
character.
The time the unit takes to start is printed after the "+" character.

In an Azure VM, the current startup time of my test is:
$ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 10.375s (kernel) + 12.352s (userspace) = 22.728s
After making the suggested change, the startup time is similar:
$ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 9.759s (kernel) + 11.867s (userspace) = 21.627s
And the service is now in the critical-chain:
$ systemd-analyze critical-chain
The time after the unit is active or started is printed after the "@"
character.
The time the unit takes to start is printed after the "+" character.

The ConditionVirtualization=microsoft line makes it so that this
doesn't affect non microsoft virtualization environments (ie. qemu,
kvm, vmware, xen, etc.)
