Instance Template Name not reflection on the instance hostname

The hostname for an instance is generated by a method called hostname_factory in compute_api. This is a method that accepts an integer id for an instance and returns a string. By default in the ec2_api it uses ec2_utils.id_to_ec2_id to make the conversion. If you want the hostname to be different, you can define a new method and pass it in when compute API is constructed.
