EUCALYPTUS Set machine name using euca-run-instances

Question

I have read the Eucalyptus documentation ( https://www.eucalyptus.com/docs/euca2ools/3.0/euca2ools-guide/euca-run-instances.html#euca-run-instances ) as well as searched on Google as well as in this site to following question and could not find a solution.

Is there a way to set a human readable server name when setting up a new server (currently a lengthy UID is arbitrarily set as the server name)?

Situation: I am setting up a specific server and the name of the instance in our IAAS cloud, The assigned server name is a generic UID .

I would like to be able to specify the instance name for a number of valid reasons but am unable to find a way to do this.

Via Command Line (will convert to script for rollout to prod):

euca-run-instances -n 1 -g <nameofSecurityGroup> -k <NameofValidKey> -t <instanceType  i.e. c1.medium> $<VariableHolding_InstanceID>

This runs successfully but the UID set as the Server Name is unhelpful for the users/clients/admins.

RESTATED: Is there any way to set a name for this new instance that is human friendly?

Please advise any reasonable thoughts or suggestions.

Thank you.

Jim

创建实例后，可以使用euca-create-tags instance_id --tag Name=Server更改实例的名称 。
