The only reason is laziness on my part.
When OSUOSL sets up a machine for us, they set it to DHCP out of
convenience.

If the machine has more than one IP, then DHCP doesn't work, so then I reset
it up with netplan as I did with osgeo7 and osgeo3.

I think osgeo4, osgeo8, and osgeo9 are probably all set to DHCP cause they
have only one IP.

I'm fine with you standardizing to always use netplan.  I was thinking each
server should probably have at least 2 ips dedicated anyway to simplify
moving things around in the future.

I forget how we do that.  I think OSUOSL has a set of ips set aside for us,
though since the containerization effort, a lot of those ips we don't use
anymore.
We should probably find out from OSUOSL if those are still available to us.
