OCI – Ubuntu 22 .04 LTS Instance Stops Responding 20 Minutes After Boot

Applies to: 

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure - Version N/A and later

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

 

Symptoms

Twenty minutes after being started, the instance stops responding completely – no ssh, no application services, no network response. To restore functionality, the instance needs to be rebooted from the OCI console. After another 20 minutes the issue repeats.


Cause

During a recent software installation, packages were installed from multiple sources in the instance along with their dependencies.

In the /var/log/syslog file, it can be seen that before each time the instance stops responding the system is being suspended by systemd after 20 minutes:
