Hi Animesh, The feature has changes amounting to about 150 lines of code. It was intended specifically for vCenter deployments that would allow users to append guest VM instance names to the internal names shown on the hypervisor (i.e., in vCenter), if a global flag vm.instancename.flag is turned on, during guest VM creation. The feature however works on all hypervisors and has been coded that way, but it doesn't impinge on any existing CS functionality and should be easy to merge into ACS. The only part that may need to be done differently is in the upgrade scripts from the previous ACS version to the current one, and that would only involve putting in a new global flag.

Please provide some more details on this issue and approximate effort in LOC needed to address this issue. Community needs to determine the contribution effort and then call out whether it needs to go through IP clearance.
