Netplan is implemented as a systemd-generator [1] and primarily intended to be used as a one-directional genreator from Netplan YAML -> native config. We've been making some moves in adding bidirectional parsing capabilities for NetworkManager's keyfiles, though, e.g.: NM keyfile <-> Netplan YAML And there's also an ifupdown migration prototype, but that is pretty limited, didn't see much love in the recent years and might not live up to expectations, e.g.: ENABLE_TEST_COMMANDS=1 netplan migrate Cheers, Lukas [1] https://manpages.debian.org/testing/systemd/systemd.generator.7.en.html
