Trying to deploy to a remote/hosted IFS Cloud Middle Tier by running the Build Place's deployment script against a self-hosted Ubuntu VM times out trying to SSH into the box, even though the hostname was set correctly and there's no obvious firewall blocking it.

Answer

Check whether the VM is actually getting a stable IP address — configuring a static IP on the Ubuntu VM (rather than leaving it on DHCP) has resolved exactly this symptom, where the deployment script's SSH connection attempt was failing even though the machine itself was reachable and correctly named.

Documentation-based answer. Confirm the product and release before applying it. This answer has not been verified in an IFS environment.
