Why Is the Hostname of My ECS Restored to the Original Name After the ECS Is Restarted?

The following uses an ECS running CentOS 7 as an example:

Log in to the Linux ECS and view the Cloud-Init configuration file.
In the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg file, comment out or delete update_hostname.
- update_hostname indicates that the hostname is changed in Cloud-Init each time the ECS is restarted.
- By default, ECSs created from a public image have Cloud-Init installed. You do not need to install or configure Cloud-Init on such ECSs. For details about how to modify a private image, see "Installing Cloud-Init" in Image Management Service User Guide.
