Title:
  Intermittent DHCP startup failure during boot due to potential race
  condition in interface renaming

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in systemd source package in Focal:
  New

Bug description:
  The server fails to start its network with DHCP seemingly randomly. It
  can take a few reboots to bring up the network. This causes issues
  where automated updates that trigger a reboot cause the server to go
  offline.

  I've attached syslog examples of both success and failure.

  My assumption is that the cause of this bug is a race condition where
  systemd is not waiting on the interface renaming.

  Notably, when it boots properly, it says:

  "Interface is under renaming, pending initialization."

  That message is not logged when it fails.

  The server uses cloud-init, and the cloud image provided by Ubuntu.

  Another possible explanation is the netplan configuration at
  /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml is:

  network:
      version: 2
      ethernets:
          eth0:
              dhcp4: true
              match:
                  macaddress: 92:00:00:00:43:6a
              set-name: eth0

  Maybe set-name is redundant here, but it's the default configuration
  generated by cloud-init.
