Anyone having "context deadline exceeded" error when building the image ?

[christopheph]

Hi I'm having this "context deadline exceeded" when trying to be the different images or on the "Azure Pipelines Pool" or when running it on a non azure devops agent vm.

The build job fails after a while, here are the logs:

Also from time to time I'm having this error, but less frequently

GenerateResourcesAndImage : Long running operation failed with status 'Conflict'.
StatusCode: 409
ReasonPhrase: Conflict

I had the exact same image generation working a while ago with the exact same config.

here is the command I'm executing:

GenerateResourcesAndImage -SubscriptionId $env:subscriptionId -ResourceGroupName "rgimg" -ImageGenerationRepositoryRoot "$pwd" -ImageType Ubuntu2004 -AzureLocation "West Europe" -AzureClientId $env:servicePrincipalId -AzureClientSecret $env:servicePrincipalKey -AzureTenantId $env:tenantId -Force

We experienced slowdowns deploying the ARM templates yesterday (which have since disappeared without touching anything afaik).

I worked around it by injecting in

source "azure-arm" "build_vhd" {
   ...
   polling_duration_timeout = "60m"
}

https://developer.hashicorp.com/packer/plugins/builders/azure/arm#polling_duration_timeout

Default is 15m, which had always been fine historically.
