Since a few days, if you create a droplet from a snapshot that was (yum) updated, you will not be able to access that droplet via Terminal (ssh: connect to host ...** port 22: Operation timed out). You will be able to access only from the DO console.
Test this: 1- create a droplet with Centos 7.3 2- yum update the droplet 3- poweroff and make a snapshot 4- create a new droplet using that snapshot 5- try to access via ssh (Terminal / Putty)
You will not be able to login that new droplet. When typing ssh root@new_droplet_ip, the password prompt will never appear (you will get a “ssh: connect to host ...** port 22: Operation timed out”

Hello,
This is an interesting question. I could suggest a few things:
ssh -vvv root@your_ip_here
That way you would know what exactly your SSH command is doing
I tried to recreate the exact same process at my end but it all went through smoothly.
Regards, Bobby
