Without a maximum name length (see https://github.com/apache/incubator-brooklyn/pull/481) softlayer VMs are created without a hostname. Under these circumstances Ambari refuses to install.
Should I implement something specific to the ambari entities so that they can work round this or do we need to find a more general fix? I'd really like to keep the long names as then I can tell this difference between my vms and those provisioned by Duncan. Regards Duncan
