Comment 5 for bug 1958377

Looking at the cloud-init.log, it appears that network is intentionally disabled.

2022-01-17 15:13:47,267 - stages.py[DEBUG]: network config disabled by system_cfg
2022-01-17 15:13:47,267 - stages.py[INFO]: network config is disabled by system_cfg

which means network is disabled via the "cloud config" section here:
https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/network-config.html#disabling-network-configuration

That said, it doesn't appear that this log matches what you're describing in your report. Looking at run/cloud-init/instance-data-sensitive.json in logs.tgz.gz , the userdata and metadata don't match what you described in the bug description.

Can you verify the the logs are correct? If not, can you attach logs pertaining to your run?
