I run a lxd server in a cloud instance, and have that configured as my default remote. The cloud-init test framework still launches its first container ("cloud-test-ubuntu-bionic-image-modification-oot8q3h1p4jup1jb8ce") locally, but then fails to use it properly. When I change my lxd configuration to use my local host as default-remote, the tests run correctly.
