The following log statements also caught my attention:

Note that the response apparently suddenly turns into

[httpAgentClient] 2024/08/25 09:22:07 DEBUG - get_task response value: map[string]interface {}{}

Full DEBUG log files attached: create-director-vm-stderr-ioctl.zip
(I am aware that the log contains sensitive cryptographic data such as RSA private keys and passwords. They are used in a private environment and all keys have been deleted/rotated such that their publication will be of no use for any attacker).

Side note: I even tried to change sizing of the VM at cpi.yml to 32GB disk plus 24GB RAM.
