And its trivial to retrieve the name of the VM, however since it is uuid, its not human readable.\r\n\r\nThis issue is to investigate if we can identify a VM using human-readable name. This depends on\r\n- Naming a VM\r\n- Identify the named VM\r\n\r\nThere could be different ways we can name a VM, however IMO the closer and more accepted way of naming a VM is as you name the VM in Vagrantfile.\r\n\r\nIdentifying the a named VM could be done if using the native vagrant way of naming VM and doing lookup in vagrant registry for names and associates VMs."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/projectatomic/vagrant-service-manager/issues/comments/199716863","html_url":"https://github.com/projectatomic/vagrant-service-manager/issues/124#issuecomment-199716863","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/projectatomic/vagrant-service-manager/issues/124","id":199716863,"user":{"login":"budhrg","id":1132451,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1132451?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/budhrg","html_url":"https://github.com/budhrg","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/budhrg/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/budhrg/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/budhrg/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/budhrg/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/budhrg/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/budhrg/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/budhrg/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/budhrg/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/budhrg/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-22T09:33:39Z","updated_at":"2016-03-22T09:33:39Z","body":"When you say `possible way` here then is it we need to set virtual machine name to some format internally and if user set it explicitly through Vagrantfile, it will take it from there?
