Ubuntu doesn't use the interfaces file since around 2018 (it actually worked sometime in 2020 for non-trivial needs).  Canonical switched to netplan, which uses a YAML config file.

For examples of netplan, https://netplan.io/examples

Besides that, I didn't see anything wrong in Chuck's post.

The key for VM networking is that inside the VM, you'll need to setup networking just like on a physical machine.
You can use DHCP or static settings, if you like. If you setup bridging, then the DHCP server on the host's LAN will be used, unless you setup a static IP inside the VM, which will need to be on a network the host is attached into.  All the normal rules for IP addressing and DHCP apply to the VM.
