if they are booting on an external flat newtork with public ips then you need
to configre neutron to serve metadta by the dhcp agent if you are usign ml2/ovs
since there is no neutron router to impelement the metadta proxy in that configurtion.

if you are using ml2/ovn the docs for configuring this are here
https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/latest/contributor/internals/ovn/metadata_api.html
for ml2/ovs you will need to use isolated metadata 
https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/latest/admin/archives/config-agents.html#dhcp-agent-setup-ovs-plug-in 

you might find 
https://docs.openstack.org/operations-guide/ops-network-troubleshooting.html
and 

https://www.rdoproject.org/networking/networking-in-too-much-detail/
useful too for general overview of how things work.
