First, thanks to Major Hayden for his blog post which pointed out the use of systemd-resolved:
https://major.io/2017/04/13/openstack-ansible-on-centos-7-with-systemd-networkd/

So, now we have the possibility to use systemd-networkd under ubuntu 18.04, I’d like to use it also under CentOS 7.
And yes, we can.

Install systemd-networkd:

yum -y install systemd-networkd

Disable network manager and enable networkd and resolved:

systemctl disable network NetworkManager
systemctl enable systemd-networkd systemd-resolved

Save the following contents to /etc/systemd/network/99-wildcard.network:

[Match]
Name=eth*

[Network]
DHCP=yes
IPv6AcceptRA=yes

(On my server the interface was no longer called ens3 but now eth0, hence the eth*)

Now create a symlink to the systemd-resolved resolv.conf:

rm -f /etc/resolv.conf
ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

And just to be sure, reboot 🙂

Now we have it up and running:

[root@el7 ~]# networkctl
IDX LINK             TYPE               OPERATIONAL SETUP     
  1 lo               loopback           carrier     unmanaged 
  2 eth0             ether              routable    configured

2 links listed.
[root@el7 ~]# networkctl status eth0
