Charm is making sysctl calls in LXD containers (unsupported)

I am following the guide outlined here: https://docs.openstack.org/charm-guide/latest/openstack-on-lxd.html

Steps
-----
# install deps <not shown>
# get openstack-on-lxd source configs
git clone https://github.com/openstack-charmers/openstack-on-lxd

# Configure LXD on Host
echo fs.inotify.max_queued_events=1048576 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
echo fs.inotify.max_user_instances=1048576 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=1048576 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
echo vm.max_map_count=262144 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
echo vm.swappiness=1 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sysctl -p
sudo lxd init
lxc profile device set default eth0 mtu 9000

# Bootstrap Juju
juju bootstrap --config config.yaml localhost lxd
cat lxd-profile.yaml | lxc profile edit juju-default

# Install Openstack
juju deploy bundle-bionic-queens.yaml
# Get coffee...
-----

Once deployment stabilizes'juju status' will show \
    neutron-gateway/0* error idle 15 10.0.8.251 hook failed: "config-changed"
