Setting static network settings in the "Initial Run" section works fine when
deploying a VM from template. When using "Run" to start the VM, customization
works as expected. On a reboot the network settings are maintained however if the VM is
shutdown and restarted the settings are reverted to DHCP. When editing the VM the
cloud-init settings are still set and a visible in the "Initial Run" section.
cloud-init (0.7.9-24.el7.centos) - Previously 0.7.9-20.el7.centos but upgraded to see if
it would fix the issue.
oVirt engine (4.2.4.1-1.el7)
Guest OS (CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708)
There is another thread that reports exactly the same issue and behavior here: -

Grateful for any thoughts or assistance.
