Spotlight: Call for Testing – Netplan

The Bionic release is just a few weeks away!

Mathieu from the Ubuntu Foundations team has put out a
call for testing for Netplan
which is a utility for easily configuring networking on a linux system.

If you have a server that you are using for Bionic testing, please look
in /etc/netplan and give netplan a run through. Note that only new
installs of Artful+ will be enabled for netplan.
