SCVMM - Linux Agent Support for Netplan

MVP

Netplan is the default network interface manager in Ubuntu Server 19.04 (and I believe 18.04). Using a VM template in SCVMM 2019 w/ the Linux image installed on the template, if specify a static IP from the configured pool in the fabric, the interfaces are configured /etc/networks/interfaces -- when netplan is used in a distribution, the classic interface configuration file is ignored and instead IPs must be configured at /etc/netplan/*.yaml followed by a `netplan apply` to commit those changes.

 

Are there any plans for SCVMM [2019] to support Netplan or are there alternatives to configure netplan during the deployment process (the VM will otherwise pick up a DHCP address if a DHCP server is configured on the subnet or obtain no network connectivity)?

@Trevor Sewardhave you found or heard any updates on this issue?

@Dan45 according to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4533411/update-rollup-1-for-system-center-virtual-machine-m... there is support for Ubuntu 18.04 which uses Netplan. I haven't tested if this means Netplan is fully supported.
