Comment 4 for bug 1440263

Hi pdion891, Erik,

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug, we're always keen to improve the cloud-init experience for users.

I believe that you're seeing this because the set_passwords module runs PER_INSTANCE. Could you try spinning up a test instance and modifying cloudinit/config/cc_set_passwords.py to include:

from cloudinit.settings import PER_ALWAYS
frequency = PER_ALWAYS

and see if that makes a difference to the behaviour?

Thanks,

Dan
