The OpenStack datasource should support the capability of regenerating network configuration at boot. With Bionic, if a primary interface is removed from an instance and a new interface is added, the instance will fail to reconfigure the new interface unless it is assigned the same MAC address.

Thanks for filing the bug. Cloud-init does have support for DataSources to apply network-config on each boot, it's not currently enabled by default on OpenStack Datasources.
