Title:
  Missing dns-nameservers in eth0 with config drive on openstack
  instance

Status in cloud-init:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Cloud Provider: OpenStack (Mitaka)
  Distro: Ubuntu 16.04
  Cloud-init version: 0.7.9 (cloud-init cfg is distro provider)

  Other Info:
  Nova Instance booted with Config Drive on a Neutron Network (without DHCP)

  Problem:
  when a nova instance is booted with config drive on a network with DHCP disabled, the global DNS servers passed in the network_data.json are not rendered to the eth0 interface in the /etc/network/interface.d/50-cloud-init.cfg file. It is only available on the 'lo' interface. As a result, /etc/resolv.conf is empty and all name resolutions fail.

  /etc/network/interface.d/50-cloud-init.cfg looks like this
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback
      dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8

  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet static
      address 192.168.111.183
      netmask 255.255.255.0
      post-up route add default gw 192.168.111.1 || true
      pre-down route del default gw 192.168.111.1 || true

  instead, IMO, it should probably look like this:-

  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback
      dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8

  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet static
      address 192.168.111.183
      dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 // Notice this additional dns info in eth0
      netmask 255.255.255.0
      post-up route add default gw 192.168.111.1 || true
      pre-down route del default gw 192.168.111.1 || true

  I tried the fix in bug 1693265 i.e https://review.openstack.org/#/c/467699/ but it
  still didn't add the dns-nameservers in the eth0 of the ENI file.

  Then, I tried a custom fix (attached nova.diff) to pass the dns_namesevers
  in the "networks" value of the network_data.json and that seems to fix the problem for me.

  At this point, I am not clear if this is a bug in Nova or Cloud-Init
  to render the dns servers in ENI file correctly. Please let me know if
  you need more info.
