Maybe I'm missing something. But it doesn't seem like it would take
much effort to write a script to automate it.
Something along the lines of:
instance_names = ('a', 'b', 'c',...)
for name in instance_names:
# change the instance name in app.yaml
# call appcfg.py
You'd probably want to keep the instance names in a database, to
associate with billing, etc, but that could be something for later
down the road.
