It would be useful if users can assign hostnames from Dynamic DNS service directly to VMs using fedcloudclient: either during creation or latter:
During creation: fedcloud openstack server create ... --hostname "hostname.vm.fedcloud.eu:secret". Implementation by inserting curl https://hostname:secret@nsupdate.fedcloud.eu/update to cloud-init script.
After creation: fedcloud dns assign hostname.vm.fedcloud.eu:secret --site site --vo vo --vm vm-id. Implementation by using openstack server ssh for executing the mentioned curl command to assign the hostname to the VM.
By this way, users don't have to care about IP addresses of the VMs, all access to VMs can be realized via the hostnames, not IP addresses.
