    Description

      The "Internal Names" of VMs follow a specific schema.

      If a VM is moved to another account or project the internal name does not change and the schema breaks.

      There is some potential to get confused if you try to find/list/debug moved VMs in the UI and on the hypervisor level too.

      Maybe the best way is to have the ability to change the naming schema to a neutral one in the global settings. Changing the internal name during a move might an alternative way. Goal should be not break the naming schema if some VMs are moved during their lifecycle.

      In addition, the second number displays the exact amount of deployed VMs, maybe a neutral suffix might be better.
