** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: cloud-init
  
  as described in bug 566792 .  The uec instances time out on waiting for
  the metadata service well too early (in ~ 20 seconds).
  
  This needs to be increased so that they boot more reliably.

+ ======== Begin SRU Information =======
+ Impact: This bug shows up in UEC instances run when the UEC they are running 
on is under load.
+ How this has been addressed: The UEC instances depend on the metadata 
serviced provided by UEC. When the UEC is under high load, that meta data 
service may not be available immediately on instance boot.  The previous 
version of cloud-init would wait only 10 seconds and then go on, causing 
failure.  The changes here enable some debug output when that is occuring and 
wait for considerably longer (1050 seconds total)
+ Patch: 
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~cloud-init-dev/cloud-init/lucid/revision/21?start_revid=21
+ Regression Potential: The largest potential for regression that I can imagine 
is the case where 'cloud-init' is installed on a non-cloud instance.  
Previously, that would have resulted in delaying boot by 10 seconds and some 
python traces on the console.  Now, the delay would be ~ 1050 seconds.  There 
is no trivial way to determine "am I in the cloud", so solving this bug and 
avoiding problems is not easy.  In general, the 'cloud-init' is a cloud 
specific package, not intended for local installation.
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+  * repeatedly launch instances.
+  * previously, failure would be seen by instance not being reachable to ssh 
and a message such as 'Failed to get instance data' in the console log
+ ======== End   SRU Information =======
