Public bug reported:

We use cloudinit to do apt-gets to install software. apt-gets fail ~20%
of the time and it seems to be increasing.

    W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files 
    will be used. GPG error: http://us-central1.gce.archive.ubuntu.com trusty-updates InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 40976EAF437D05B5 NO_PUBKEY 3B4FE6ACC0B21
    F32

Manually doing the command below a few times solves the problem, but
cloudinit doesn't have any retry logic around this so having stable apt
repositories is very important to have a repeatable process. What do you
recommend if the repos won't be stable? I would think a simple retry in
cloud-init (either configurable or 5x or something sane) would be very
helpful.

    apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX
    apt-get update
