Bug description:
Load on the main Ubuntu archive servers is rather peakish, and tends
to create a traffic peak on our Internet links at fairly regular times
each day, preventing customers from accessing the archive. This
impacts the cloud archive mirrors using the ubuntu-repository-cache
charm also, because they are hitting a squid cache which is backed by
the main archive. This effect will be even more pronounced under the
recently-announced automatic update policy for xenial.
One solution which would alleviate this to some extent would be to
spread the load over a longer period by increasing the random sleep
time in the daily update script from 30 minutes to, say, 1-2 hours.
