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:

  1. Log in to the Linux ECS and view the Cloud-Init configuration file.
  2. In the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg file, comment out or delete update_hostname.
    Note
    • update_hostname indicates that the hostname is changed in Cloud-Init each time the ECS is restarted.
