<div dir="ltr"><div>I would like some help to identify (and correct) a problem with instances metadata during booting. My environment is a Mitaka instalation, under Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, with 1 controller, 1 network node and 5 compute nodes.

When booting a Ubuntu Cloud Image with cloud-init, instances lost conection with API metadata and doesn't get their information like key-pairs and cloud-init scripts. <br><br><span style="font-family:monospace,monospace">[ 118.924311] cloud-init[932]: 2018-02-23 18:27:05,003 - url_helper.py[WARNING]: Calling '<a href="http://169.254.169.254/2009-04-04/meta-data/instance-id">http://169.254.169.254/2009-04-04/meta-data/instance-id</a>' failed [101/120s]: request error [HTTPConnectionPool(host='169.254.169.254', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /2009-04-04/meta-data/instance-id (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(<requests.packages.urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7faabcd6fa58>, 'Connection to 169.254.169.254 timed out.
