My use case involves booting up an instance attached to two networks - one 
having Neutron DHCP service running and one without. Looking within the 
documentation [1], I was hoping to use configuration drive to provide IP 
information for the second interface. But, if I understand correctly, one could 
theoretically pass any IP information through it; which may or may not match 
the IP that is assigned to the Neutron port. I wonder if there is any way the 
actual IP assigned to the Neutron port is exposed in some way within the VM.

One crude workaround I can think of is to create a port beforehand with a fixed 
IP, and use this information to configure static networking within the VM. 
However this might not be manageable if a user launches numerous VMs since 
he/she will have to ensure that IPs do not overlap.

[2] looks promising, but I am not clear how I can just specify the second 
interface only.
