So AFAICT from the log:

"rpm -q xfsprogs" prints "package xfsprogs is not installed" which is 
expected if xfsprogs is not installed.

"yum install -y xfsprogs" redirects to "/usr/bin/dnf install -y 
xfsprogs" which is expected on F24.

dnf fails with "Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'fedora'" 
which means it couldn't download the Fedora repository data.

"sudo mount -o data=writeback,noatime,nodiratime /dev/vdb 
/volumes/disk1" then fails, doubtlessly because xfsprogs in not installed.

The absence of "sudo" in the yum command (when it does appear in the 
mount command) is suspicious, but unlikely to be the reason it can't 
sync the cache.

It's not obvious why this change of image would suddenly result in not 
being able to install packages. It seems more likely that you've never 
been able to install packages, but the previous image had xfsprogs 
preinstalled and the new one doesn't. I don't know the specifics of how 
that image is built, but certainly Fedora has been making an ongoing 
effort to strip the cloud image back to basics.
