Hello Chris:

10.210.65.6 is the IP address of the metadata namespace interface. The metadata service is on 169.254.169.254 address; this route is redirecting this traffic. Check the network ID and then the corresponding metadata:

root@u20ovn:~# ip netns
ovnmeta-5274fa45-c33a-4c66-be3a-b8ecd294c769 (id: 3)
ovnmeta-ee1597ee-579d-49dc-9b90-fbb8f98baef9 (id: 2)

root@u20ovn:~# ip netns exec $meta ip a

    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

    inet 169.254.169.254/32 brd 169.254.169.254 scope global tap5274fa45-c1

Check if the metadata agent logs and verify you are not hitting [1]. Check you have [2].

Disregard my above email, I didn't see that you created vm using a
fixed IP address.  When you create a network/subnet during that time
OVN creates this special localport IP. In my case its 10.1.1.5

I believe you shouldn't use that IP address for VM.

port 0e36e2b1-12d2-4eb2-a9ea-556644a73067
        type: localport
        addresses: ["fa:16:3e:6e:36:f9 10.1.1.5"]

This is preventing the VM from reaching the service so the SSH key is not being added preventing me from logging in.  As far as I can tell, there are no error and every VM I build is getting this .6 IP for this route.
