as documented in the defaults/main.yml you might set network_restart_method to nothing. So nothing is done.

To elaborate a bit more... We have two situations.

When applied first, we change the main interface description, to include all our details from the directory. In order to make this effective we use the network_allow_service_restart. You set this to no and nothing will happen in this case.
When only one of the interfaces is changed later, just the individual interface requires a restart. You can control how this is done with the network_restart_method. The content of this variable is used to index the network_interface_restart_commands hash. If it is service we use the service module of Ansible.

Thanks for this, I will try it out. I had not spotted the defaults/main.yml file.
