169.254.169.254 is the ip of whatever serves the "metadata" ubuntu
instances needs after the boot (to get the ssh key).

I had such"cant connect to 169.254.169.254) on some compute-node where
nova-api was not running:

Note sure it apply on your case as you mention devstack (so i am
assuming you are using only 1 node), but it could be worth checking that
nova-api is actually running.
