Comment 3 for bug 308530

Just wanted to add my name to the list of those affected by this bug. I get the instance up and running but cannot log in with the key I used. The console log via elasticfox shows a network failure retrieving the needed information when it happens.

Anecdotally, I'm seeing about 60-70% failures during slow parts of the day, and then much less (but still present) during typically heavier usage times (afternoon/evening). Presumably due to longer launch times.

I am concerned about using this image for production right now because I may not be able to get a new instance up quickly enough for my clients due to the failure to attain credentials. I would prefer to use the Hardy version as it is a LTS server.

By the way... outstanding work on the great Ubuntu EC2 offerings! I would complain, but fast launch times are a great problem to have as long as we can actually use the instance. :) Keep up the great work and thanks for everything you all do for us.
