Today we noticed that one of our VMs was not reachable over ssh, and none of the applications running on it were reachable either. It was working fine the day before and we hadn't done anything on it (restart, upgrade, etc) in weeks so I didn't know what could have caused this. I check the boot diagnostics and they showed a lot of gibberish:

Has anyone else seen this? I've never looked at the boot log from the Azure Portal before, is this just a bug in their portal?
