Bug description:
  Load on the main Ubuntu archive servers is rather peakish, and tends
  to create a traffic peak on our Internet links at fairly regular times
  each day, preventing customers from accessing the archive.  This
  impacts the cloud archive mirrors using the ubuntu-repository-cache
  charm also, because they are hitting a squid cache which is backed by
  the main archive.  This effect will be even more pronounced under the
  recently-announced automatic update policy for xenial.

  One solution which would alleviate this to some extent would be to
  spread the load over a longer period by increasing the random sleep
  time in the daily update script from 30 minutes to, say, 1-2 hours.
