-------------
this is tracked upstream in https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1637252
we need to track that bug and backport the patch when it gets fixed.
-------------

Cloud-init sysconfig.py does not render the subnet configuration properly when the datasource provides a network configruation.

This was seen on Fedora 25 in digital ocean when working with their team to enable 25 on Digital Ocean.
