I am following a tutorial about Linux networking. Tutorial mentions about /etc/machine-info file but my Ubuntu system is missing this file. I just have /etc/machine-id. Tutorial is on CentOS.

Are there any files or commands equivalent to /etc/machine-info in Ubuntu?

From the /etc/machine-info definition:

/etc/machine-info contains metadata about the machine that is set by the user or administrator.

The file isn't created by a tool, it's created by the system administrator (if necessary). It contains information which can't be determined automatically: the system's location, chassis type, deployment environment, icon and pretty name.

If the tutorial you're following requires it, you'll need to create it yourself.
