I am having the same issue. I tested the C5 instance when it first came out and it would randomly lock up at 100% CPU. I contacted AWS support and they could not figure it out. They sent a message to the devs to see if they could. So I switched back to c4 instances. I decided to try it again yesterday and it working fine until this morning when it randomly decided to lock up at 100% CPU again. I looked at all the logs and nothing is showing me what could be causing issues. I tried multiple kernels and for me, they all seem to do it. Anyone figure this out? I would really like to use the C5.

We do not experience this issue with t2 or c4 instance types and we do not see this issue on any instance types using Ubuntu Cloud images from 20180109 or before. I have verified that this is kernel related as I booted an image that we created using the Ubuntu cloud image from 20180109 which works fine on a c5. I then did a "apt update && apt install --only-upgrade linux-aws && systemctl disable sssd", rebooted the server, verified I was on the new kernel and started sssd with "systemctl start sssd" and the EC2 instance froze and Cloudwatch CPU usage for that instance went to 100%. I haven't been able to find much in the syslog, kern.log, journalctl logs, etc. The only thing I have been able to find is that when this happens I tend to see "^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@" in the syslog and sssd log files. I have attached several log files and the output of a "apport-bug /usr/sbin/sssd". Let me know if you need anything else to help track this down.
