You mention nftables below. It's quite possible the kernel provided bythe

4.18.
The kernel version of the cloud provided is 4.9.130. I don't find a lot
of
distribution which already ship a 4.18 kernel. According to wikipedia, kernel
version 3.13 is the first to support nftables subsystem. Did you mean 3.18?
- security tables optional;
This should already be the case. On startup firewalld probes for theavailable
tables. If firewalld is not handling the absence gracefullythen it's is a bug
and should be reported upstream. You can reopen #411.
I can confirm, without
security tables, firewalld refuses to start.
I posted a message into #411, but I cannot reopen.
- support kernel with builtin network modules ?
It should be possible to handle this as well. File a separate issue forit.
Done. Issue #430 is open.
