Unable to login to AWS instance after installing cloud-init












0















I have a custom ami crated after importing an .ova file following the process outlined here.



After spinning up an instance from that particular ami, I am able to login to the instance using ubuntu@private-ip.



I then proceed to installing cloud-init:



$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install -y cloud-init


(my .ova did not have the cloud-init when importing it)



I then reboot the instance (after cloud-init's installation) and I keep getting the following:



ubuntu@private-ip's password: 
Permission denied, please try again.
ubuntu@private-ip's password:
