This PR adds support to specify the NIC type of the primary network interface for instance templates. This field is important VM families and operating systems that support GVNIC and get increased network performance. It defaults to null, the current behavior (unspecified), so this is not a change that requires user action.
var.additional_networks
supports this field, but the primary interface does not.I can eventually see a breaking change where
var.additional_networks
becomesvar.networks
(or var.network_interfaces) and the primary network interface is inferred from the 1st element in the list. This would eliminate functionality gaps between the primary interface and secondary interfaces.
