Cloud-init SRU 20.4 was complete and released 01/04/2021. A regression was found in Azure launches with auto-generated ssh keys LP: #1910835. Both Canonical and Azure have landed a fix in cloud-init and SRU verification is ongoing today. Expectations will be that this 20.4 will be released ASAP this week into Ubuntu Xenial, Bionic, Focal and Groovy. Ubuntu 21.04 (Hirsute) already has this fix.
