An upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 WILL by default rename your network interface

You will want to prepare to either: - Update your netplan config (and any other app config that mentions eth0) from the Xen Shell after rebooting into 24.04 and having no working network or: - Disable interface renaming before you do the upgrade, by putting "net.ifnames=0" on your kernel command line and updating grub.
