For example, an Ubuntu instance running on Xen will have an interface similar to enX0. The interface name on other hypervisors may be something like ens5.

You can rename the interface name like this:

sed -i 's/enX0/eth0/g' /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml

After that, run this command:

netplan apply

or reboot the server.
