'Online Saltstack Minions on Azure losses connection with Master on DigitalOcean

I have a salt 2016.11.3 (Carbon) playground with a master in DigitalOcean and 4 minions in Azure (three ubuntu and 1 windows).

After a while ubuntu minions are not responding to salt -t 30 '*' test.ping but they are online ( I can ssh into them )

Restarting the master systemctl restart salt-master or minions systemctl restart salt-minion seems to bring minions back for a while.

Things checked:

  • Azure machines are put to sleep and only woken up on external events ✗
  • The network between the two clouds is very slow ✗
  • salt master machine is too small ✗
  • salt minions do not ask master for "work" ✗
  • salt-master hangs for some reason
  • salt-minion communication error ✔

Also after restart I get a double response from re-added nodes but I think this is a cache problem because it disappears after some time (cache invalidation).
