Declare your Linux Network state!
summary
NMState provides a single JSON/YAML declarative schema for full Linux network state, maps to a NetworkManager backend, and exposes a CLI and API plus Ansible modules and container images. It supports IPv4/IPv6, bonds, bridges, VLANs and basic verification logic; the demo builds a bond with two slaves and a VLAN and shows atomic apply and rollback when an invalid property is injected. Packages exist in Fedora, COPR, and PyPI and CI and Kubernetes NodeNetworkPolicy integration are in active development.
