I'm wondering if it's from a different version of cloud-init instead? 20231211: cloud-init 23.3.3-0ubuntu0~22.04.1 20240319: cloud-init 23.4.4-0ubuntu0~22.04.1 i don't see anything related in the changelog[https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/blob/main/ChangeLog] next steps: try a coud-init config like i have above. If it fails, please provide your cloud-init and outputs (especially helpful with some cloud-init logs). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2049860 Title: cloud-init cloud-config for ssh broken in jammy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/2049860/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
