After years being used by Ubuntu Server/Cloud, Ubuntu 23.10 began making use of Canonical's Netplan declarative network configuration software and now Netplan is fully ready to take on all duties with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. After seven years of development, Netplan 1.0 is ready for primetime use from servers to desktops.

Netplan 1.0 boasts better stability, simultaneous WPA2 and WPA3 support, a stable libnetplan1 API, Mellanox VF-LAG support for high speed SR-IOV networking, and various other new settings and improvements.
