Comment 4 for bug 1884449

After a quick initial look at the logs, it stalled during the unpacking of the wheelhouse; it seems that the extract/install of the wheelhouse items took a LONG time (some 5-10 minutes each). Octavia was being installed in a LXD container.

It looks like each ceph-osd "update-status" hook 'stalled' the octavia install:

Obviously, ceph is on bare-metal and octavia is in an LXD on the same host, in the configuration that's been provided.

Which version of Juju was being used to deploy, please?
Please could you attach full bundles that demonstrate the issue for the bionic and focal variables?

Thanks.
