Status presents unnecessary MAAS API info for machines

[Mark Shuttleworth]

When using Juju with MAAS, I often see things like this:

   /MAAS/api/1.0/nodes/node-0c15c2d0-61df-11e5-aa84-000e1e989680/

I believe that's the canonical REST URL for the node in MAAS, but it's overkill. It would be more than sufficient to say this:

  node-0c15c2d0-61df-11e5-aa84-000e1e989680

Please can we find and fix all of those? In particular:

Bootstrapping environment "garage"
Starting new instance for initial state server
Launching instance
WARNING no architecture was specified, acquiring an arbitrary node
 - /MAAS/api/1.0/nodes/node-0c15c2d0-61df-11e5-aa84-000e1e989680/

This one would be better as:

  node-0c15c2d0-61df-11e5-aa84-000e1e989680 (nuc-1.cluster.mallards)

And this one:

[Machines]
ID STATE VERSION DNS INS-ID SERIES HARDWARE
0 started 1.24.6 nuc-1.cluster.mallards /MAAS/api/1.0/nodes/node-0c15c2d0-61df-11e5-aa84-000e1e989680/ trusty arch=amd64 cpu-cores=4 mem=8192M

Again, INS-ID could just be node-0c15c2d0-61df-11e5-aa84-000e1e989680

Thanks!

This will be addressed with the MAAS 2.0 support.

[Mark Shuttleworth (sabdfl)]

When we get to this (pre-2.0 please) please use the MAAS hostname in
that column, not the ID.

Thanks,
Mark

[Mark Shuttleworth (sabdfl)]

This is already much improved (at least in gmaas?)

MACHINE STATE DNS INS-ID SERIES AZ
0 started 192.168.9.11 ect8sh xenial default

All I would like is the unique host name instead, but this one is OK for
now if needed :)
