Severity: important

Hi,

I tried to launch in instance from the latest stretch ami (ami-772ab761 i.e. us-east-1) into a VPC. It failed - more specifically networking.service failed. 

Here's the relevant output from syslog:

[ [0;1;31mFAILED [0m] Failed to start Raise network interfaces.
See 'systemctl status networking.service' for details.
         Starting Initial cloud-init job (metadata service crawler)...

I guess networking was looking for eth0 but systemd knew better (i.e. ens3). Can't provide any more details since I couldn't access the instance :-) .

This is easy to reproduce. Launch a t2.micro from the ami, specify a VPC (create if necessary), enable public IP and launch. Try to ssh into the instance.

This may be related to Bug#745587 (https://lists.debian.org/debian-cloud/2017/04/msg00017.html).

In any case, not being able to launch into a VPC seems pretty severe, all things considered.

I've made this change in
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/cloud/fai-cloud-images.git/commit/?id=47e7b9622c6c573644139020842c48de71d077f8

The strech release images documented at
https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/AmazonEC2Image/Stretch contain this fix,
so please test and verify that things work for you. When I test on an
r4.large instance, this is what I see:

admin@ip-172-20-0-73:~$ sudo dmesg | grep command
