This change does not need to be applied before migrating to Rocky Linux 9, but it should cause no harm to do so.
Note that this will not affect existing VMs, only newly created VMs.
This change does not need to be applied before migrating to Rocky Linux 9,
but it is likely the best time to do so.

.. warning::

This change will cause the interface names to change on any new VMs
launched with images that do not specify a hw_machine_type already.
Existing VMs will not be affected, but a rebuild will have the names
changed. Customers should be informed of this in case they have any
tooling that relies on interface names within their VMs.
