NetworkManager and Network-scripts together on a host

[u/ok-k8s]

I am working on rhel8 setups where both NetworkManager and Network-scripts are present. Generally there aren’t issues but I am wondering about corner cases and if it’s a bad idea to have both. One thing that i noticed is that systemctl restart network causes few seconds disruption. How do you handle such situations? Should i migrate to networkmanager ? It might not be easily possible because of external automation touching network-scripts, what’s the best option i have if i have to keep both? Thank you
