Comment 2 for bug 1978543

Hi Pedro, Thanks for filing the bug and making cloud-init better.

I can confirm locally with the following:
cat > LP1978543.yaml <<EOF
version: 2
ethernets:
  enp0s3:
    dhcp4: false
    addresses: [10.0.4.10/24]

    routes:
    - to: default
      via: 10.0.4.1
      metric: 100
EOF

ValueError: Address default is not a valid ip address

When I change `to: default` to the alternative `to: 0.0.0.0/0` we render correctly without error
