@Mathieu: I reinstalled my Virtualbox VM (using the ubuntu-18.04-server-amd64.iso image) and tested again and the result was the same.
netplan config:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# For more information, see netplan(5).
network:
version: 2
renderer: networkd
ethernets:
eth0:
match: macaddress: 08:00:27:f0:97:15
set-name: eth0
dhcp4: yes
Result after reboot:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ip address show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether 08:00:27:f0:97:15 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
As you can see, the interface is successfully renamed, but the IP address is not applied.
Do you have an idea why it works with the ubuntu-18.04-live-server-amd64.iso image and not with ubuntu-18.04-server-amd64.iso? Perhaps it depends on something from cloud-init package?
