014.01.34.5. Describe the unique approach offered by Netplan in addressing the network configuration problem. What distinguishes Netplan from other tools, and how does it handle the transformation of unified network configurations into files used by existing network managers like NetworkManager and systemd-networkd?
Netplan offers a different approach to configuration problem. Rather than managing the network, Netplan is nothing more than a unified network configuration standard and a tool to transform that configuration into the files used by existing network managers. Currently, Netplan supports NetworkManager and system-networkd. NEtplan files are in YAML format, and reside in /etc/Netplan .
Netplan provides a unique approach to the network configuration problem. Unlike traditional network management tools, Netplan doesn't directly manage the network. Instead, it serves as a unified network configuration standard and a tool to transform that configuration into files compatible with existing network managers. Currently, Netplan supports NetworkManager and systemd-networkd. Netplan configuration files are written in YAML format and are typically located in /etc/netplan.
