I tried to reproduce the bug but couldn't. My Ubuntu 18.04 VM (in West US 2, the VM size is: Basic A3 (4 vcpus, 7 GiB memory)) is still running fine, after I rebooted the VM 100 times with the below /etc/rc.local script:
#!/bin/bash date >> /root/reboot.log NUM=`wc -l /root/reboot.log | cut -d' ' -f1` [ $NUM -le 100 ] && reboot In Kirk's log, it looks the VM failed to obtain an IP via DHCP (or somehow the VM's network went DOWN?), and there are a lot of lines of WARNING ExtHandler CGroup walinuxagent.service: Crossed the Memory Threshold. Current Value: 627945472 bytes, Threshold: 512 megabytes. I don't know what the line means. I don't see any issue in Linux kernel and drivers. I guess the issue may be in the waagent/cloud-init daemons, or somewhere outside the VM. Since I can not reproduce the issue, and it looks nobody can reproduce the issue now (it looks Kirk's VM works fine now, after the VM was Stopped and Started again), I can not further debug the issue. If somebody manages to repro the issue again, please check if you're still able to login the VM via Azure serial console; if yes, please check if the VM has an IP address by "ifconfig -a"; if the VM has no IP, we'll have to check the syslog (and/or the network manager's log?) to find out what goes wrong; if the VM has an IP but is unable to communicate to the outside world, something may be wrong with the Linux network device driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1822133 Title: Azure Instance never recovered during series of instance reboots.
