Description
Hello :)
Is it possible to set instance tags or at least to set the instance name with the register command on "Hybrid" instances?
We are using the agent on dedicated servers (=> Hybrid activation). Everything works perfectly fine BUT:
Registered servers come with an empty "Instance name" which is not very handy. It is possible to tag those new registered instances afterwards but it adds quite some complexity to our provisioning.
I checked the doc and the issues but I did not find anything related, I hope I didn't miss something.
Also we may run some old linux distibutions, could it be the instance name would automatically be gathered (form hostname or so) one more modern systems? 🤔
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by tracing the register command for Hybrid activation and inspect how the Instance name is populated for newly registered servers. Determine whether the command can accept an instance name or tags, and verify the expected behavior on older Linux distributions; done means provisioning can set the requested identity without a manual post-registration step.
