On a test system I configured a machine with a bond. Curtin successfully installed CentOS 8 but the deployment failed in MAAS. When I dug in it is because the bond never comes up so the machine has no way to communicate with MAAS. I can deploy the same machine with a bond on CentOS 7 or Ubuntu. I can also deploy with CentOS 8 using DHCP, static IP, or a bridge, just not a bond.

MAAS: 2.9.0-rc1 CentOS 8 image from images.maas.io cloud-init-19.4-1.el8.7.noarch
