i doubt cloud-init has any thing to do with it, other than being the thing that ran apt (which then some possibly substantial network IO and disk IO and cpu). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/b

High CPU may be cloud-init. Using todays server image, running 'prepare- testbed' spins the CPU at 200%. The end of the log shows: Aug 6 10:13:15 autopkgtest [CLOUDINIT] helpers.py[DEBUG]: Running config-package-update-upgrade-install using lock () Aug 6 10:13:15 autopkgtest [CLOUDINIT] util.py

I'm suspecting an issue with nested=1... the nested VM does eventually boot but it takes many minutes to do so. At this point, the cpu usage of qemu-kvm drops to reasonable values. But if you ssh into the vm, the usage jumps up to ~200% again. To recreate: $ sudo apt-get install -y genisoimage li

Attempting to repeat the dep8 test run in the same environment has so far resulted in the qemu-kvm binary consuming 200% CPU (recreated on multiple nodes). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs
