One development (mostly) since we started talking about this is that NM
is now much more modular, and has a "configure and go away" mode (the
lack of which was the main reason for not using it in the cloud image
in the first place). It also can use the same lightweight DHCP library
that systemd does, which in either case is an advantage over ye olde
memory-hungry reference implementation as used by the initscripts
networking.
I'm not saying it's the automatic winner over systemd-networkd, but all
that should be taken into consideration.
Correct, still configuring networkd seems
to be easier in my eyes. I
also forget to mention that CoreOS is using networkd from 2014. Major
also mentioned in the meeting that systemd-networkd's resource
requirements are a little lower than NM last time he checked. He is also
using networkd on bare metal servers.
