Public bug reported:

==== FFe

Please except this version for plucky before the release. catred
provides good detail here [0] in the relevant bug, but essentially
version 20250107.00-0ubuntu1 in plucky affects cloud-init due to newly
included systemd-networkd hooks. A user attempting to set their hostname
via cloud-init will no longer get the expected hostname, but rather the
internal default hostname set by Google. For any users upgrading to
plucky who are using cloud-init with a large fleet, this would be a
breaking change.

It also (selfishly) would help CPC a lot to get this new version in
quickly. There are 2 other SRUs (LP: #2096765 && LP: #2096762) blocked
until this new version here can also be SRU-ed (as we validate all the
Google guest packages "wholesale" due to their interplay).

==== Bug

Following on from previous similar package update requests @ LP:
#2084496, LP: #2073161, LP: #2064580 LP: #2020762 and LP: #1996735, this
bug is a request to update the google-osconfig-agent package to the new
upstream version `20250328.00` @
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/osconfig/releases/tag/20250328.00

This package has an SRU exception @
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#google-osconfig-agent which
includes an ageing exception detailed @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/google-
osconfig-agent-Updates

[Impact]

This package is provided by Google for installation within guests that
run on Google Compute Engine. It is part of a collection of tools and
daemons, that ensure that the Ubuntu images published to GCE run
properly on their platform.

Cloud platforms evolve at a rate that can't be handled in six-month
increments, and they will often develop features that they would like to
be available to customers who don't want to upgrade from earlier Ubuntu
releases. As such, updating this package to more recent upstream
releases is required within all Ubuntu releases, so they continue to
function properly in the GCP environment.

[Test Case]

When a new version of this package is uploaded to -proposed, the
following will happen:

 * an image based on -proposed will be built for GCE and published to the ubuntu-os-cloud-image-proposed project
 * the CPC team will run internal validations (CTF) and Google's upstream test suite `cloud-image-tests` (CIT)
 * the GCE team will be asked to validate that the new package addresses the issues it is expected to address, and that the image passes their own internal image validation.

We will also re-validate that this new version does not have the
regression introduced by 20250107.00-0ubuntu1 (LP: #2096657, not SRU-ed)

If all the testing indicates that the new package is acceptable,
verification can be considered done.

[Vendored Dependencies]

TBC

[Where Problems Could Occur]

There are many upstream changes in `20250328.00-ubuntu1` vs.
`20240926.03-ubuntu1`; however between the cloud-image-tests suite [0]
(which is run for validation by CPC _and_ Google) and CPC's own internal
test harness (CTF), there is confidence that most if not all "edge
cases" and/or obvious regressions concerns can be dismissed before the
new version lands in `-updates`

We will also re-validate that this new version does not have the
regression introduced by 20250107.00-0ubuntu1 (LP: #2096762, not SRU-ed)

[Other Information]

This bug is used for tracking of releasing the new upstream version for
all supported series, as per the approved policy mentioned in the
following MRE:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/google-osconfig-agent-Updates

This package is only used for AMD64 and ARM64 but it is build for all
available architectures.
