Have you managed to do this before with any arch? I did verify that we can
provision machines over SSH into non-manual environments, however the
machines had to be on the same private network.

I think this error happens because juju visited streams.canonical.com,

I think you want to prepare the ppc64 tools locally, and then use "juju
sync-tools --source <local-dir>".

I could republish the extra tools to each certified public cloud so
