Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately, I'm not that familiar with Python to grab the whole process, but I checked what you suggested, and at least in the REST I see when opening the instance detail, I **don't** see the "hostname" key. I only have the "name" one. But that should be correct, according to the config above, it should take the hostname from the "name" attribute.
