Public bug reported: Per the netplan reference documentation (https://netplan.io/reference), the scalar fields "gateway4" and "gateway6" have been deprecated:
> Deprecated, see Default routes. Set default gateway for IPv4/6, for manual address configuration. This requires setting addresses too. Gateway IPs must be in a form recognized by inet_pton(3). There should only be a single gateway per IP address family set in your global config, to make it unambiguous. If you need multiple default routes, please define them via routing-policy. However, I checked, and nothing in the Cloud-Init bug tracker or GitHub repository indicates there are plans for Cloud-Init to address this change: * https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init?field.searchtext=gateway4 * https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/search?q=gateway4&type=issues Additionally: * the Cloud-Init network_state module still uses both fields -- https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/blob/cd2cca35a1bf36b584422f431c3ddf55b820434c/cloudinit/net/network_state.py#L40-L41 * the Cloud-Init netplan module still references both fields -- https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/blob/cd2cca35a1bf36b584422f431c3ddf55b820434c/cloudinit/net/netplan.py#L117-L120 * both fields are still part of the network unit tests -- https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/blob/cd2cca35a1bf36b584422f431c3ddf55b820434c/tests/unittests/test_net.py#L478-L494 I am curious to find out: * What is Cloud-Init's plan to handle the gateway4 and gateway6 fields? * Will Cloud-Init deprecate them from their network v2 config to be aligned with netplan? * Will Cloud-Init continue to support them and seamless produce the recommended default routes per netplan's documentation? * What is the timeline for any such change or changes?
