Detailed Description

systemd-networkd is a system daemon that manages network configurations. It detects and configures network devices as they appear. Cloud base image will use systemd-networkd for its network.

systemd is a default package in Fedora, and we can use its latest feature to control the network configurations. We will remove the hacks we have in the current kickstart file, and use systemd tools for network configuration.

Benefit to Fedora

We will be getting rid of difficult-to-maintain legacy network scripts, and having only one unified network system. As we already have systemd on the image, it will help us by not adding any extra package in the Cloud base image.
