Summary

  • Build host was using 10.5GB swap with memory_gb = 12 for the Tart VM during Puppet phases
  • This caused puppet-setup-phase2 to fail with "Timeout waiting for SSH" — the VM boots so slowly under memory pressure it exceeds the 600s timeout
  • Reducing to 8GB (and 6 CPUs) gives the host OS enough RAM to avoid heavy swapping

Test plan

  • Builder CI passes phase 2 without SSH timeout

Reduce Puppet phase VM memory from 12GB to 8GB

The build host had 10.5GB in swap with 12GB allocated to the VM,
causing phase 2 SSH timeouts as the VM took >600s to boot under
heavy memory pressure.
