VMs can be too deterministic and not provide enough entropy when creating random numbers after startup. This can lead to insecure key generation.

Dustin Kirkland @ Canonical has a presentaion on this issue here: http://people.canonical.com/~kirkland/Random%20Seeds%20in%20Ubuntu%2014.04%20LTS%20Cloud%20Instances.pdf

Therefore, this ticket calls for creation of an Ansible role for pollinate: https://github.com/dustinkirkland/pollinate

mckaydavis added this to the MVP (first alpha) milestone
