Instance renaming would not be easy due to Puppet integration, but I think we can find some tricks for "service names". A phabricator task tagged as #cloud-vps would probably be a good way for us to work out some system. If nothing else we can make sure that your Cloud VPS project has access to configure DNS records in a subdomain and you can use that to create a CNAME for folks to use. The Cloud Services team has some hope to introduce a "Load Balancer as a Service" system in the future, but we need to finish work on some other infrastructure changes before we are ready to look into that seriously.
