+  description: |
+    This module resolves the issue where if you edit a netplan generated network configuration
+    in NetworkManager, the changes are saved to netplan as new configuration files.
+    This will cause netplan overwrite the NetworkManager generated netplan configuration on the next boot.
+
+    This module will give NetworkManager a hint to generated netplan configuration files
+    and then removes the cloud-init generated netplan configuration file.
+
+    This module expects that NetworkManager has the netplan integration patch applied.
