Jay,

The good news is that, with 0.130ubuntu3.11, initramfs-tools is now able
to render a correct netplan YAML file:

# cat /run/netplan/ens3.yaml
network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    ens3:
      set-name: ens3
      dhcp4: true
      dhcp-identifier: mac
      critical: true
      nameservers:
        addresses: ["100.100.100.60", "100.100.100.160"]
        search: ["domainname.com"]

However, net_failover 3-netdev interfaces are still showing incorrect
names:

# ip l
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode 
DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: ens3: <BROADCAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT 
group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 12:3f:bd:fd:bb:1e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: rename3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master 
ens3 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 12:3f:bd:fd:bb:1e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: rename4: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master ens3 
state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 12:3f:bd:fd:bb:1e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

while we should expect to see something like:

# ip link show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode 
DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: ens3: <BROADCAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT 
group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 12:3f:bd:fd:bb:1e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: ens3nsby: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master 
ens3 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 12:3f:bd:fd:bb:1e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: ens4: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master ens3 state 
UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 12:3f:bd:fd:bb:1e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

The culprit, as I ever indicated before, is that even with the seemingly
correct netplan config provided, the netplan tool itself still doesn't
recognize the 3-netdev failover interface, ending up with below udev
rules renderred that runs conflict with the 3-netdev model:

# cat /run/systemd/network/10-netplan-ens3.link
[Match]
MACAddress=12:3f:bd:fd:bb:1e

[Link]
Name=ens3
WakeOnLan=off

# cat /run/udev/rules.d/99-netplan-ens3.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", 
ATTR{address}=="12:3f:bd:fd:bb:1e", NAME="ens3"

I understand that the solution we agreed upon has to rely on cloud-init
providing supplemental udev rules for naming the ens3nsby (failover
standby) and the ens4 (failover primary) interface. But, I don't see how
the resulted 99-netplan-ens3.rules would work, given that all the 3
netdevs share a same MAC address, and there's no other udev attribute to
differentiate? What's in your mind that needs to be fixed next, netplan
or udevd?

Thanks,
-Siwei

Title:
  netplan should consider adding more udev attribute for exact matching
