I getting problem with Ubuntu repository on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 droplets created in London. For droplets created in Frankfurt everything works out of box.

To work around the issue I changed my sources to:

## Note, this file is written by cloud-init on first boot of an instance modifications made here will not 
## survive a re-bundle. if you wish to make changes you can:
## a.) add 'apt_preserve_sources_list: true' to  /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg or do the same in user-data 
## b.) add sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d 
## c.) make changes to template file /etc/cloud/templates/sources.list.tmpl

I’m having a lot of issues in FrankFurt as well running installs through ansible on freshly created droplets with xenial ?

Same scripts were running perfectly yesterday :/ what’s going on here guys? I thought the premade builds were stable :/ appears they’re really not

    Looks like the issue on my side was due to ansible seeing apt warnings about custom digitalocean repository lists not being found as errors.

    Managed to find a workaround but still has the fact that these scripts worked until yesterday. What changes were made to the ubuntu images and repo lists ?
