Research direction

The issue names the ec2-plugin and spot instances but no source file or test. Start by locating the spot-instance agent naming entry point and existing configuration in the Java plugin, then determine the expected naming and filtering behavior. Done means the naming can be customized and the behavior is covered by relevant tests.
