This issue seems to be directly related to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/netplan/+bug/1999178.
Running "udevadm trigger" or "udevadm test /dev/console" just throws a warning message but does not block of a minute:
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/67-azure-console.rules:2 Unknown group 'syslog', ignoring
However, running "systemctl daemon-reload" with systemd debug logs enabled clearly shows the one minute delay being triggered by the netplan generator:
My conclusion for now is that the bug in netplan is only triggered if a udev rule cannot be satisfied. This is why we are only seeing this issue with Minimal (no syslog group) Azure (udev rule present) Lunar (bad version of netplan) images.
