Makes me wonder if we shouldn't leave most of this to udev rules and the creation of a separate executable that can be called to from udev to handle generation of ifcfg-XXX rules. Basically the same idea we deploy in [1]. Or udev could call cloud-init --mode netconfig. The later approach would still make it easy for people to disbale network configuration via cloud-init if they care to do so, while that would be a bit more challenging with the first appraoch. Anyway going down the path of setting up udev rules may also afford the opportunity to be more targeted. Anyway, I think there is a more general solution in here that can also provide a good basis for handling multiple network interfaces in a dynamic way at the same time.
