Netplan will be working on Ubuntu 17.10

Ubuntu 17.10

For the development of Ubuntu 17.10 we have seen how Unity and Mir fell from the arms of Ubuntu and Canonical due to their costs. We have also seen how Ubuntu Phone stopped being carried by Canonical and his team. But they are not the only projects Canonical and Ubuntu were working on.

Some projects continue as is the case of Netplan. Netplan is a network management application that has recently been confirmed for Ubuntu 17.10 and all its official flavors.Netplan is an Ubuntu framework to manage networks and all its ins and outs. It is a kind of layer that communicates the device and the system with any application. Thus, the user can not only have networkmanager but also other managers such as systemd-networkd, among others.

Netplan will facilitate the use of network management programs

Netplan has been a project in development until this version where it will be stable so that developers can receive feedback and improve it. That is why this program or framework will be present in all flavors of Ubuntu 17.10 as well as Ubuntu desktop and server images. But don't panic. Netplan's philosophy is to make things easier for the user and the developer, so Netplan will not only not make things difficult but it will also make network management easier in our Ubuntu.

Netplan cannot be installed on versions prior to Ubuntu 17.10We can only check its operation in the next daily versions of Ubuntu 17.10 that will be available. If there is a possibility of having it in Ubuntu 16.10 and Ubuntu 17.04 but they are unstable packages that could cause problems.

So it seems that Ubuntu continues to innovate and change its distribution. Ubuntu 17.10 seems to be the version with the most changes in at least 6 years (or maybe the first with so many changes). To you what do you think?
