@bhaisaab I think from the UI same value is passed for both name and
display name. But if you use the API you can pass different values. The 'name'
is set as hostname of the VM. But 'display name' is just a friendly name
associated to the VM for easy reference.
I don't think it is a good idea to remove display name from the VM summary
page. Or the fields to be displayed in the page should be made configurable.
The user may choose what all fields to display in the summary page. The same
can hold for the IP address as well.
Also about displaying the IP address I think @resmo raised some valid
points. In advanced zone VMs in different isolated networks can have same
private IP address. So not sure how it helps user/admin.
