Azure IoT Edge does not start containers

Question

After rebooting a VM with Azure IoT Edge 1.2.1, it seems that the containers cannot start.
Seeing the iotedge system logs there are the following messages

aziot-edged[1127]: 2021-08-25T05:15:01Z [WARN] - The daemon could not start up successfully: Could not retrieve device information
aziot-edged[1127]: 2021-08-25T05:15:01Z [WARN] -         caused by: HTTP response error: [400 Bad Request] {"message":"device identity not found"}

aziot-edged[1127]: 2021-08-25T05:15:06Z [INFO] - Obtaining edge device provisioning data...

Everything returns to working fine if the command iotedge config apply run manually.

Any idea to solve this issue?
