Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver has switched to Netplan for configuring network interfaces and please refer to the steps below on how to configure statis IP Address with NetPlan

#Edit the default yaml file

    # the datasource.  Changes to it will not persist across an instance.
    # To disable cloud-init's network configuration capabilities, write a file
    # /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-disable-network-config.cfg with the following:
    # network: {config: disabled}
    network:
