    Ubuntu: support systemd-networkd · 3bbf736d
    Mark Goddard authored
    This change adds support for network configuration via systemd-networkd
    on Ubuntu systems.
    
    This is implemented via an Ansible Galaxy role,
    stackhpc.systemd_networkd which was forked from
    aruhier.systemd_networkd. Several improvements were made in
    https://github.com/stackhpc/ansible-role-systemd-networkd/pull/1,
    including:
    
    * Add support for removing unexpected config files
    * Use become where necessary
    * Refactor config generation into a single task to improve performance
    
    The systemd_networkd role does not add much abstraction on top of the
    systemd-networkd configuration file format, which provides a lot of
    flexibility at the expense of additional code in Kayobe. This code is
    implemented as filter plugins, similarly to the existing
    MichaelRigart.interfaces role.
    
    This patch includes support for:
    
    * Ethernet interfaces
    * bridges
    * bonds
    * VLANs
    * virtual Ethernet pairs (to connect Linux bridges and OVS bridges)
    * static IP addresses
    * static routes
    * MTU
    
    Some network attributes are currently not supported for
    systemd-networkd:
    
    * rules
    * route options
    * ethtool_opts
    * zone
    * allowed addresses
