Ubuntu focal comes with LXD 4.0 installed by default. When using Juju to create containers on a local LXD with focal based instances, the deployment breaks due to and incorrect cloud-init configuration (see https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/10951, which existed since 2015!). A fix is not meant to arrive in LXD 4.0 till November (see https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/10951#issuecomment-1258691195).

The new behavior in cloud-init has real implications as right now our commercial offering of the Anbox Cloud Appliance on the AWS marketplace (https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-aqmdt52vqs5qk) is broken when people buy it without a simple path to fix, other than forcing users to upgrade to LXD 5.0. We will hotfix this and ask people at installation time to upgrade to LXD 5.0.

However, have we considered rolling back the cloud-init update as it's causing issues for a variety of people? I know about one other product which broke due to this (OSM).
