Comment (by mattdm):
Also, note that we are not using NetworkManager -- we're using the
traditional network initscripts. It would be nice to eventually move away
from these, and I don't have a strong view over which one should win (once
NetworkManager gains the ability to configure a dhcp interface and then
stop running).
From my (cloud SIG) point of view, NetworkManager has the disadvantage of
being dependency heavy (and the run-once mode is not yet done -- see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=863515), but the significant
advantage of parsing the existing config files.
If there were a generator for systemd-networkd which could read the basic
values from the legacy files and create network units on the fly (akin to
systemd-fstab-generator), that would level that advantage. (No need to
implement the full syntax; just basic static and dhcp, plus log when
something isn't understood and perhaps recommend NetworkManager for this
cases.) And ifup/ifdown compatibility scripts would be nice (although I
don't think we generally care for the cloud case)
