What version of MAAS do you have installed? (See "apt-cache policy maas"
and "apt-cache policy curtin".) Which Ubuntu image are you trying to deploy?

I've seen this kind of issue occur if the bond cannot be fully brought
online for some reason, such as one of the links is down. So I would
double-check that (and check the MAC addresses of each interface in the
bond to ensure the interface names match what you expect).

To narrow down the issue, I would browse to the machine in the MAAS UI and
click on "00-maas-00-support-info" on the "Commissioning" tab. Search for
"metadata_url" in the output and check if the URL is going to be reachable
after the machine comes up with its given network configuration. For
troubleshooting, the contents of the "Installation" tab will also help, and
the output of "maas <session> machine get-curtin-config <system-id>" from
the command-line.

Then I would remove some of the network configuration in MAAS a little at a
time to see which setting causes the problem. For example, it might be
worth trying to configure the node with the 1 Gbps interface being the only
one that is brought online when the machine is deployed. You could
configure the bonds without any VLANs and check if it works. Then try
configuring the bonds with the VLANs, but without any IP address
assignment, and check if the deployment is successful.

Mike
