Sounds good. Since we have a resolution, I'm going to go ahead and close

Title:
  [Azure] User's customized dns search domains is over-written as re-
  config network on every boot

Status in cloud-init:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Description of problem:
  This issue only exists on Azure cloud-init.
  With the 22.1 version, we add dns search domains via nmcli con modify 'System eth0' +ipv4.dns-search domain.tld, after reboot, the config is over-written by cloud-init(the changes to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 get deleted, they used to be persistent), as Azure apply networking config on every BOOT[1] since cloud-init-22.1

  [1] https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/1023

  
  But some users prefer to persist the customized network config(e.g. DNS) after reboot, so could you please help to check how to enhance this patch[1] to meet customer's requirement[2]?

  [2] User's requirements:
  We add additional search domains to certain servers, mostly because they communicate with legacy urls in our company without using fqdn. 

  
  Additional info:
  Below[3] is a workaround to persist user's customized DNS. But as all the customized network configs will be over-written after reboot, so maybe we need to consider how to avoid it.

  [3] Adding the customized DNS to /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf, 
  e.g. 
  Modify /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
  timeout 300;
  append domain-search "searchdomain1.com";
  append domain-search "searchdomain2.com";
  append domain-name-servers 1.1.1.1;

  Reboot the VM and then check the dns information, the modifications are not overwritten.
  # cat /etc/resolv.conf 
  # Generated by NetworkManager
  search searchdomain1.com searchdomain2.com
  nameserver 1.1.1.1

  
  Test Veision: 22.1

  
  How reproducible:
  Modify dns search domains, reboot

  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. nmcli con modify 'System eth0' +ipv4.dns-search example.com
  2. systemctl reboot

  
  Actual results:
  $ grep example.com /etc/resolv.conf
  [No result]

  
  Expected results:
  $ grep example.com /etc/resolv.conf
  search example.com
