[Chad Smith <chad.smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The proposal to merge ~chad.smith/cloud-init:azure-no-ifupdown into cloud-init:master has been updated.

Description changed to:

azure: Don't bounce network with ifdown ifup when those tools don't exist

This fixes a traceback when attempting to bounce the network after hostname
resets.

In artful and bionic ifupdown package is no longer installed in cloudimages.
As such, Azure can't use those tools to bounce the network informing DDNS
about hostname changes. This doesn't appear to affect DDNS updates though
because systemd-networkd is already watching hostname and defaults to SendHostname=True during all dhcp upon hostname deltas which posts updates to DDNS for us.

This branch also fixes two use-cases unhandled by the prerequisite branch:
  - In lxc's  ip -o link list returns interface alias information such as eth0@if37 which needs to be truncated as we try to complete network device information
  - In Azure, host target routes and gateways need to be handled

LP: #1722668
