Hi everyone! I'm opening this PR as a draft first just to run the CI and validate my changes.

Basically, these changes involve replacing the systemd-networkd package with NetworkManager only in Red Hat family distributions, as it is the standard for CentOS/RHEL. To make this work, I created a new dedicated role called network_networkmanager that uses nmcli to configure the management bridge and the OVS cluster interface.

I also tweaked the main network playbook so it automatically skips the Debian specific roles, like systemd-networkd and networkdwait, when running on RedHat, applying the new NetworkManager role instead.

I'll let the CI do its thing now to see how it goes :)

Cheers!

…-networkd

Updated CentOS initialization tasks to start and enable NetworkManager
instead of stopping it. The systemd-networkd service will no longer be
used.

on RedHat systems. This role is responsible for setting up the management
bridge and the OVS cluster interface.

…family

Refactored the network setup playbook to conditionally change systemd-networkd
roles when running on RHEL. Integrated the new network_networkmanager role
specifically for the RedHat OS family.
