[Touch-packages] [Bug 2051572] Re: Always preseed core and snapd snap in server seed
With only snapd snap preseeded I get boot times very similar to ``` ubuntu@cloudimg:~$ systemd-analyze Startup finished in 3.757s (kernel) + 12.458s (userspace) = 16.216s graphical.target reached after 12.061s in userspace. ``` Which shows we are still taking a boot time hit of ~1.5 seconds... however with snaps snap preseeded we are seeing a much faster "first snap" install. From ~21 seconds down to 17 seconds. To summarise. * Definitely faster boot without any snaps preseeded @ ~1.5 seconds in my tests * Still slower boot with only snapd snap preseeded but faster first snap install time by about ~4 seconds I have been unable to get any data on LXD usage numbers on cloud/server to help. So the question remains do we want faster boot by ~1.5 seconds (based on my test environment) at the expense of first snap install speed improvements of between 4 (if only snapd snap is preseeded) seconds and up to ~15 seconds (if a core snap is also preseeded)? @vorlon @jchittum @paelzer given the above findings are you still -1 on any snap preseeding?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 2051572] Re: Always preseed core and snapd snap in server seed
It was nice to have LXD around and ready for many test/dev workloads, and I feel it was worth it back then. But we already replaced it with lxd-installer in minimal environments and it was fine there too. I never heard someone complaining that LXD takes a bit there, but every second of boot time seems to be valued highly. Now that we had to reduce this to the lxd-installer everywhere (Due to LP #2051346) it is really worth to be re-revaluated. Thank you for driving this Phil! IMHO now that your first LXD command will take a bit longer already (due to fetching LXD snap), the exact amount of that "a bit longer" (as being more by also fetching snapd and base) seems almost irrelevant as long as it is in the same ballpark. On one hand those dev/test environments that use it most, can easily be made to tolerate the bit of extra time - they usually start with a barrage of other "install this" anyway that has the same "wait for network and install" characteristic. On the other hand reducing size and the initialization effort of it will save transfer and startup time for everyone - the guessed 3-5 seconds mentioned/assumed above would be totally worth it IMHO. --- Furthermore as Simon showed (thanks), by snapd being a baseless snap we'd not even gain something by having that around already for the latter fetch of lxd by lxd-installer. --- I further appreciate John's comment that we should back up some of our current assumptions (how much will this slow down lxc interactions, how much will the boot speed gain) with some actual data. But if that data will not totally upset what we expect, then I very much agree with Steve in comment #1 and would not optimize for it at the cost of all others and thereby I'd be fine to not preseed the other bits there. --- P.S. I wanted to mention that our perception might also be biased. I believe (no data) that the closer to Ubuntu development itself you are, the more likely you use LXD heavily in testing. But that same ratio likely does not apply to any user of Ubuntu images in the world. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2051572 Title: Always preseed core and snapd snap in server seed Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-meta source package in Noble: New Bug description: In removing the LXD snap from preseeding in the server seed for Ubuntu 24.04 as part LP #2051346 [1] we also removed the snapd snap and the core22 snap.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 2051572] Re: Always preseed core and snapd snap in server seed
I agree with vorlon in general. It is a bit odd to not be seeding snapd by default, since snaps are a recognized package format. preseeding snapd will bring in its base, but there's no guarantee that base will match any other snaps. Flip side is that somewhere back in history, it was decided that in a system without any other snaps preseeded, that having the snapd deb, which exists to bootstrap itself into a snapd snap, was the right choice. so let's narrow the cases we know of: * pre-installed systems with no other snaps pre-seeded That limits itself, right now, to cloud-images "downloads" (the qcow, ova, etc). Right now the cloud team sees a fairly long time in running `lxd` commands, as we specifically have a mandate to ensure `lxd` is operating well on our cloud-images. what we don't know right now * boot time differences with adding the snaps back in (from old reading it looks anywhere from 3-5s, which is a nice little gain) * the amount of time/slow down for `lxd` booting from `lxd-installer` in a "no snaps pre-seeded" setting * the _usage_ and _expectation_ about the speed here. We definitely support running lxd on cloud-images. and we know it is a use case. but we don't know if this is a "many users" or "a couple users," and we don't know their expectations regarding speed. We may be able to roll out with good documentation letting everyone know what the change is, what to expect, etc. The more info we can gather on our side for time cost the better. getting some data comparisons across the following would be good: * boot times w/ and w/o preseeded snaps * lxd launch time with no preseeded, snapd + it's core snap preseeded, and "other cloud cases that have preseeded snaps" (thinking like ec2 or oracle that have snapped cloud agents) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2051572 Title: Always preseed core and snapd snap in server seed Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-meta source package in Noble: New Bug description: In removing the LXD snap from preseeding in the server seed for Ubuntu 24.04 as part LP #2051346 [1] we also removed the snapd snap and the core22 snap.

I disagree that the image should be optimized by default to prioritize the one-time startup performance of an optional use case. 15 seconds vs 30 seconds, on a thing that won't affect most cloud customers, and happens at most once per image, AND should be weighed against the first-boot speed improvements in clouds resulting from having a smaller image? Also, statically seeding a particular base snap is bad form, as soon as lxd upgrades its base you lose your performance benefit and have to play catch-up in a stable release.
