Confirmed that Impish daily image builds on GCP are unblocked and include the necessary fix to prevent `netplan apply` from being invoked by cloud-init. This is a stop gap solution until we can publish a release of google-guest-agent.service which declares a "RequiredBy=" relationship with systemd-networkd.service to ensure google-guest-agent starts anytime after networkd starts.
Verified success on GCP daily images Ivan had released daily Google image builds for Impish with cloud-config updates which contain cloud-init 21.3-1-g6803368d-0ubuntu3 and the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/*.cfg file to "disable_network_activation: true". $ gcloud compute instances create sf-impish --zone us-west1-a --network "default" --no-restart-on-failure --image-project ubuntu-os-cloud-devel --image daily-ubuntu-2110-impish-v20211012 --machine-type n1-standard-2 $ gcloud compute ssh --zone us-west1-a sf-impish root@sf-impish:~# systemctl status google-guest-agent ● google-guest-agent.service - Google Compute Engine Guest Agent Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/google-guest-agent.service; enabled; v> Active: active (running) since Tue 2021-10-12 20:34:43 UTC; 7min ago Main PID: 731 (google_guest_ag) Tasks: 9 (limit: 8923) Memory: 19.6M CPU: 533ms CGroup: /system.slice/google-guest-agent.service └─731 /usr/bin/google_guest_agent Oct 12 20:34:49 sf-impish gpasswd[1201]: user XY added by root to group di> Oct 12 20:34:49 sf-impish GCEGuestAgent[731]: 2021-10-12T20:34:49.4968Z GCEG.... Given that we can ssh into the vm with `gcloud compute ssh` on intial launch, the problem no longer exists.
