This is not meant to be a prose-y post. It's really just a handful of examples to illustrate how to use netplan to implement host networking in Linux. Remember to use sudo netplan generate to syntax-check your changes, and sudo netplan apply to implement them.
The netplan reference is located at https://netplan.io/reference/
Using DHCP
network:
version: 2
renderer: NetworkManager
ethernets:
eth0:

version: 2
renderer: NetworkManager
ethernets:
eth0:
dhcp4: no
addresses: [192.168.100.118/24]
gateway4: 192.168.100.1
nameservers:
search: [lab]
addresses: [1.1.1.1, 9.9.9.9]
Creating a bond interface (also illustrates a static route)
network:
version: 2
renderer: NetworkManager
ethernets:
eth1:
dhcp4: no
eth2:
dhcp4: no
