@Anh Vo, Thanks for looking at this.
It almost seemed too perfect for me to believe the pre-provisioning stuff kicked in, and that there were exactly zero journal entries in almost 9 days. I would think it'd be nice for cloud-init to clearly state "pre- provisioned system waited X seconds" or something, but not a big deal. I guess there are two things that are not perfect here, but I don't really know how big a deal they are: a.) I would expect others to be confused by 'uptime' of days on a newly provisioned machine. (and it feels like 9 days of system-idle is a heavy cost of optimization for a few seconds of boot time) b.) I just selected "Ubuntu 18.04" from the "new vm" dialog series. I'd hope that if there was a new image available those that were in the pre-provisioned queue would be cleared. Ie, if I ask for "Ubuntu 18.04" today, that isn't necessarily the same as having done so 9 days earlier. overall, though, Thanks and this looks like it is working well. I'll close this issue.
