Comment 6 for bug 1938299

Chad and I investigated this issue together. To summarize, the google-guest-agent.service appears to be properly enabled with the proper systemd symlinks, but it is not running on first boot. We can find no logs anywhere about an attempt to start the service or about any error with the service. Upon reboot, google-guest-agent.service runs as expected. We can't point to any cloud-init changes that would impact this behavior.

Given this, I'm moving this to Incomplete for cloud-init. If there's more reason to believe this is an issue caused by cloud-init, please change status back to New.
