# NOTE: Bounded like the wait above. `cloud-init status --wait` holds for
# as long as it takes, and a boot that never ends would otherwise hold the
# update with it. 124 is what the timeout itself exits with.
# NOTE: `cloud-init status --wait` can wait forever if a boot gets stuck,
# so we cap it with a timeout, just like the SSH wait above. When time
# runs out, `timeout` exits with 124.
# NOTE: We need sudo here. On Rocky, installing a package locks
# /run/cloud-init down to root, and `cloud-init status` then fails for
# the SSH user.
