I wanted to start playing with wireguard, and I was going to deploy it into Azure to make a tunnel to from my personal machine. I want to do this on top of focal, since wireguard is built into focal’s kernel.
But I can’t seem to create focal instances in Azure. I tried both centralus and uksouth region in case that mattered:
First I tried creating a focal controller and that failed like this
laney@nightingale> juju bootstrap --bootstrap-series=focal --config default-series=focal azure/uksouth azure-uksouth
Creating Juju controller "azure-uksouth" on azure/uksouth
Looking for packaged Juju agent version 2.8-rc1 for amd64
No packaged binary found, preparing local Juju agent binary
Launching controller instance(s) on azure/uksouth...
ERROR bootstrap failed, destroying model: cannot start bootstrap instance: selecting SKU for focal: Ubuntu SKUs for released stream not found
ERROR failed to bootstrap model: cannot start bootstrap instance: selecting SKU for focal: Ubuntu SKUs for released stream not found
Thinking that it might be a peculiarity of controllers, I bootstrapped with bionic and then tried to deploy cs:ubuntu on focal - which is supported per its metadata, and works locally on LXD — but that didn’t work either:
laney@nightingale> juju deploy cs:ubuntu --series focal
[ some time passes ]
laney@nightingale> juju status

The cloud does have focal images present:
laney@nightingale> azure-cli vm image list --publisher Canonical --output table --all | grep 20.04

Am I missing something in my invocations or is Azure not ready for focal yet?
