Please update gce-compute-image-packages to 20211028.00

[Utkarsh Gupta]

[Impact]

compute-image-packages is provided by Google for installation within guests that run on Google Compute Engine. It is a collection of tools and daemons, packaged as gce-compute-image-packages, that ensure that the Ubuntu images published to GCE run properly on their platform.

Cloud platforms evolve at a rate that can't be handled in six-month increments, and they will often develop features that they would like to be available to customers who don't want to upgrade from earlier Ubuntu releases. As such, updating gce-compute-image-packages to more recent upstream releases is required within all Ubuntu releases, so they continue to function properly in their environment.

[Test Case]

When a new version of gce-compute-image-packages is uploaded to -proposed, the following will be done:

 * an image based on -proposed will be built for GCE and published to the ubuntu-os-cloud-devel project
 * the CPC team will write new automated tests to cover new testable functionality (if any) in the new package
 * the automated testing that the CPC team normally runs against GCE images before they are published will be run against the -proposed image
 * the GCE team will be asked to validate that the new package addresses the issues it is expected to address, and that the image passes their internal image validation.

If all the testing indicates that the image containing the new package is acceptable, verification will be considered to be done.

[Other Information]

This bug is used for tracking of releasing the new upstream version for all supported series, as per the approved policy mentioned in the following MRE:

## Conclusion

Due to the completion of Google's testing and my own verification, I am
marking verification-complete for all releases.

## Notes

Testing of the new Google guest agents was primarily performed by
Google themselves. They have given the +1. In addition, these images
have gone through testing from the Canonical Public Cloud team.

From my own testing images were produced with the guest agents
directly from proposed and uploaded to GCE. These are the same images
that Google used in their own testing.

I verified:

1) The versions of packages
3) that my account and other project accounts were created
4) correct SSH keys were imported
5) the new packages provided parity with the existing agents.

Verified with the following package versions:

Bionic:
  google-compute-engine 20211028.00-0ubuntu1~18.04.0
Focal:
  google-compute-engine 20211028.00-0ubuntu1~20.04.0
Hirsute:
  google-compute-engine 20211028.00-0ubuntu1~21.04.0
Impish:
  google-compute-engine 20211028.00-0ubuntu1~21.10.0

The verification of the Stable Release Update for gce-compute-image-packages has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.
