Public bug reported: Every time my VM boots (it was deployed via MAAS), cloud-init will attempt to rename interfaces despite the system being configured differently in /etc/netplan/*.yaml --
Whatever config may be in /etc/netplan, the original name of the interfaces at deployment will be forced by cloud-init via a call to 'ip link set X name Y'. My netplan config and 50-curtin-networking.cfg are attached -- 50 -curtin-networking.cfg was modified to use the 'cloud1' name rather than the original 'ens6' to more clearly show the extra renaming that happens.
