I rebooted our VM over 60 times today without any further issues. Since the VM network went down before I restarted the VM or lost access to the serial console login, I'm also thinking now it was a network issue to begin with. It could always be coincidence that I was able to get the VM back by force stopping and then starting the vm from a stopped state, when neither restarting nor redeploying helped, but there is one thing, correct me if this is wrong, that is different about force stopping and that is it deallocates the VM. If the network issue were internal to the VM I wonder if both restarting and redeploying could have with the best of intentions persisted the faulty network state to the point where the operations failed, while dealocating ended the issue and the VM was able to start over clean.

Status in linux-azure package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Description: During SRU Testing of various Azure Instances, there will be some cases where the instance will not respond following a system reboot. SRU Testing only restarts a giving instance once, after it preps all of the necessary files to-be-tested. Series: Disco Instance Size: Basic_A3 Region: (Default) US-WEST-2 Kernel Version: 4.18.0-1013-azure #13-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 28 22:54:16 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I initiated a series of tests which rebooted Azure Cloud instances 50 times. During the 49th Reboot, an Instance failed to return from a reboot.. Upon grabbing the console output the following was seen scrolling endlessly. I have seen this failure in cases where the instance only restarted a handful of times >5 [ 84.247704]hyperv_fb: unable to send packet via vmbus [ 84.247704]hyperv_fb: unable to send packet via vmbus [ 84.247704]hyperv_fb: unable to send packet via vmbus [ 84.247704]hyperv_fb: unable to send packet via vmbus [ 84.247704]hyperv_fb: unable to send packet via vmbus [ 84.247704]hyperv_fb: unable to send packet via vmbus [ 84.247704]hyperv_fb: unable to send packet via vmbus [ 84.247704]hyperv_fb: unable to send packet via vmbus In another test attempt I saw the following failure: ERROR ExtHandler /proc/net/route contains no routes ERROR ExtHandler /proc/net/route contains no routes ERROR ExtHandler /proc/net/route contains no routes ERROR ExtHandler /proc/net/route contains no routes ERROR ExtHandler /proc/net/route contains no routes ERROR ExtHandler /proc/net/route contains no routes ERROR ExtHandler /proc/net/route contains no routes Both of these failures broke networking, Both of these failures were seen at least twice to three times, thus may explain why in some cases we never recover from an instance reboot.
