I have a GCE instance running a custom image imported from Debian. I intend to modify the image at a later date.
However every time I reboot the instance I see "cache invalid" in /var/log/cloud-init.log, as below.
Why would the datasource cache be invalid on every reboot? And would an invalid cache cause cloud-init to treat my instance as newly provisioned?
