Requesting auto-connections for following interface declared for the waagent snap:
Rationale:
When the agent is entering the goal state, there is one non-blocking error reported in the logs:
Aug 25 19:40:09 jrtknauer-ixlsezavpe waagent.waagent[3960]: 2025-08-25T19:40:09.792678Z ERROR ExtHandler ExtHandler Unable to setup the persistent firewall rules: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/lib/systemd/system/waagent-network-setup.service'
While the error itself is non-blocking (the agent will still enter the goal state) and does not appear to be related to critical agent features (e.g. the log error is ignored in e2e tests for some environments) it is a regression compared to the Ubuntu Classic logs. Incorporating the hardware-observe interface remediates the issue as the error will no longer be present in the logs. In addition, from conversations with WALinuxAgent contributors there will be other functionalities (e.g. extensions) which will inevitably require the interface. As with previous auto-connection requests, it is necessary for all interfaces to auto-connect.
