Talos 1.12 Network configuration confusion

[Aelxander]

Hi!

I noticed, that machine.network has been deprecated with talos 1.12.

I am confused how I am supposed to configure network, hostname and routes. I read the wiki, but I haven't gotten smarter.

Am I supposed to append this yaml to my rendered talos config (which I get from talosctl gen config)?

---
apiVersion: v1alpha1
kind: LinkConfig
name: enp87s0
addresses:
  - address: 192.168.250.1/24
routes:
  - gateway: 192.168.250.1
---
apiVersion: v1alpha1
kind: Layer2VIPConfig
name: 192.168.250.200
link: enp87s0

before I apply the configuration? If not, how else would I manage this?

And why was this decision made?

A lot of questions I know, thank you for your help!

For "why" see this.

For "how to configure" please use this.

As for how to include new documents see patching. In short, each multi-doc is a valid patch on its own (in the simplest case when you're appending them), so you can do talosctl gen config --config-patch=my-network.yaml (or specify flag many times for each patch).
