So, the converse is that as actual workloads move to VMs (let alone cloud),
the host systems become a special case, and the "normal" case for a server
tends to become much more simple: either a single interface probably with
fixed-address DHCP, or in most complicated cases several interfaces on
specific networks known by convention.
