+# using netplan
+
+Netplan is the replacement for the non-deterministic `/etc/network/interfaces` that Debian *still* uses. It uses YAML format configuration files to configure your network.
+
+It works remarkably well, and isn't cryptic to read like the `interfaces` rules.
+
+## Examples
+
+Here are some examples
+
+### VLAN Tagged network
+
+This configuration is an example from hydra
