I have been playing with the linuxvm agent, I have successfully got it working in centos 7 and today I installed it into Ubuntu 20.04, the machine name change and password change works 100% but the ip address change fails, I assumed this was due to a configuration issue, I checked the settings and followed them again and same issue, I then reverted to the uncompiled files to see what the agent would look for, I see the agent looks in the netplan folder and the default file is 50-cloud-init.yaml and my file was names differently, so I renamed the file and tested it with no luck.

I thought it might have been due to a macaddress requirement, and this didnt work either.

Trevor can you possibly point me in the right direction here to see what could be the issue, I though it might have been due to the cloud-init software, and removed this as we not using it, but same issue.

Ok some further info after trying all afternoon, Ubuntu 20.04 uses the ip commands rather than the ifconfig command, I then installed the depreciated ifconfig command systems by using apt-get -install net-tools and this sorted the issue out, now its changing the ip addresses as well, I think the code needs to be updated to use the ip commands rather as a permanent fix.

I tried getting Centos 8 to work, it seems the agent doesnt work at all, obviously some further development is needed in this side.
