When I run the follow command, I got a error. But at Windows Azure, VM was created.

salt-cloud -p azure-ubuntu <original string>

Error string

[ERROR   ] Function timed out: 900
[ERROR   ] Failed to get a value for the hostname.
Error: There was a profile error: Failed to deploy VM

For me this seem to happen whenever I re-use a name of the vm which I do in testing. Eg if I create "my-vm", delete it and then tries to create "my-vm" again...I get this error. But if I choose another name it works.

@yamatoya Are there suspended machines in your vm list? If yes, then that's the cause.

See: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/14793#issuecomment-51464415

Using both 2014.1.10 and 2014.7.0rc2 I get the same error when deploying VM's to Azure. I don't have any suspended machines in my VM list. The VM's are up and running and I can login using specified ssh_username and password, but no bootstrapping occurs. Salt-Minion has to be installed manually, the key deleted from the master and re-accepted.

I am running a master on Ubuntu 14.04 in Azure, trying to deploy VM's to Azure.

@yamatoya, is this still happening?

Since we didn't hear back, I am going to close this. A lot of work went into improving the Azure salt-cloud driver for the 105.5.x releases, so this should be improved. If this remains an issue for people, please comment and we will gladly re-open and address any remaining issues.
