[Openstack] How to make Neutron select a specific subnet when boot an instance

Hi,

depending on your workflow there would be a way with scripting [0],  
not sure if this would be a suitable approach for you.
There also has been a blueprint [1] for the selection of subnets  
during instance creation since Juno, but I can't find anything about  
an implementation.

Regards,
Eugen
