Bug Description

Please implement some sort of repeated automated check of data on http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/ (and ideally daily too).

Run the tests at the end of a publish, and/or randomly throughout the day, and report failure very loudly.

2 checks that I'm aware that can easily be done (and have broken in the past) are:

simplestreams:
 ./tools/hook-check-downloads http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/
 This will show 'BAD_URL' for anything that doesnt exist. it essentially stats all urls.

juju:
 the 'validate-images' command was added. I'm not exactly sure of its syntax, but it can be run to assert that its view of the world is fine.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1218566/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.
