When ConPaaS starts a VM instance it gives it a name so that the ConPaaS admin may easily find which instance is which. For example, conpaas-manager-xtreemfs-u3-s1 is a manager VM of an XtreemFS service running for user 3, service 1.
It would be better to reorganize this name so sorting VM instances in alphabetical order brings meaningful results. For example: conpaas-frontendid-userid-serviceid-servicename-instancetype
where frontendid is a way to distinguish multiple ConPaaS deployments potentially making use of the same EC2 account. So the example instance above would be called conpaas-online-u3-s1-xtreemfs-mgr.
