Ubuntu 22.04.5 custom configs:

• To disable cloud-init, create the empty file /etc/cloud/cloud-init.disabled

  sudo touch /etc/cloud/cloud-init.disabled

• If you need to do an offline install of ubuntu 22.04, look at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1409135/22-04-offline-installation

Config log:

apt -y install vim
# temporary allow root access for setup
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PermitRootLogin yes
systemctl restart ssh
sudo passwd root

cd /etc/netplan/
vi 50-cloud-init.yaml

network:
    ethernets:
        ens3f0:
            dhcp4: false

Turn off kernel audit messages

vi /etc/default/grub

Add “audit=0” to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="audit=0"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

If the server has nvme, proactively do the following to avoid a potential NVMe power saving mode bug.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="audit=0 pcie_aspm=off pcie_port_pm=off nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0 apparmor=0 security=apparmor"

Update grub and reboot

update-grub
