Getting this fixed in cloud-init is tricky. In ifupdown (/etc/network/interfaces) world, we just took the "global dns" entries and put them on the loopback device (lo). Since that device would always be brought up, and never really brought down, it served its purpose.
That is what Ryan tried above, but it doesnt seem to work. Even if it *did* work, the solution would be systemd-networkd specific, and cloud- init doesn't speak to systemd-networkd or systemd-resolved. It speaks to netplan. So we would still need a way for cloud-init to tell netplan to do this. That leaves us with 2 not-so-great solutions in cloud-init only: a.) blindly put global dns entries on *all* interfaces b.) cloud-init search through the config and find the "right" interface to put the global dns entry on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750884 Title: [2.4, bionic] /etc/resolv.conf not configured correctly in Bionic, leads to no DNS resolution Status in cloud-init: New Status in MAAS: Triaged Status in nplan package in Ubuntu: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When deploying Bionic, /etc/resolv.conf is not configured correctly, which leads to no DNS resolution. In the output below, you will see that netplan config is correctly to the 10.90.90.1 nameserver, but in resolv.conf that's a local address. Resolv.conf should really be configured to use the provided DNS server(s). That said, despite that fact, DNS resolution doesn't work with the local address.
