I did some testing and it turns out the hostname size seems to be the problem! I started a bunch of machines with a hostname of 64 characters and a bunch of machines with a hostname of 25 characters (with the script I linked above): all the machines with a hostname of 25 ended up in the state "Running" and all the others were stuck "Commissioning". Just to be sure, I had someone else confirm that behavior.
I did some more testing and I can now say that Azure is ok with hostnames up to 55 characters. A machine with a hostname of size 56 or more won't get out of the commissioning state. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to walinuxagent in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1195524 Title: race condition / transient failure to provision To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/walinuxagent/+bug/1195524/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
