I'm spawning an ubuntu vm from the template built from newest 24.04 image here, configs at the end of the post:
https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/noble/currentnobleserver-cloudimg-amd64.img

On first boot of the vm it get's stuck for a minute or two at 2.087525 s with CPU usage practically zero.
Around 2 minutes later in journalctl I noticed :
Code:
ubuntu systemd-networkd-wait-online[565]: timeout occured while waiting for network connectivity.
ubuntu systemd[1]: systemd-networkd-wait-online.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

followed a bit later on by

Failed to start systemd-networkd-wait-online.service - Wait for Network to be Configured.

When it get's back responsive, I end up without the network.

After resetting the VM - next boot boots fine, snappy, with network.
Am I doing something wrong?

All right, leaving a reply here in case someone else will be struggling with it - the missing piece was setting the VM type to q35
