If you want to deploy a Ubuntu image across different hosts, each time you boot it on a new machine, a new udev rule for its network card will be created. You will then end up with eth1, eth2, and so on. There are different ways to work around this problem. Here is a simple approach that will completely disable the automatic rule file generation:
rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rulesmkdir /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
It’s a hack, it’s not pretty, but it works.
