Hello and thanks for opening this bug and sharing the logs via the sosreport.
The cloud-init logs as well as the syslog show several error, like:
"

This let's me assume that cloud-init does not seem to be able to find the meta data service, or there is a network/connection problem (due to the timeout above).
Please make sure and double check if the connectivity is given.
Btw. is there a particular reason why you are using cloud-init in this case? Since a regular ISO install of 16.04 on P8 via virtual cdrom shall not 'require' the use of cloud.init.
