Thanks for suggestion, but changes in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg are reverted during VM rebuild, so this is probably not the solution for or issue.

Looks like what you want to do is disable cloud-init editing of your VM
hostname. This is done simply by cloud-init to stop doing this. Simply
edit /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg and set:

preserve_hostname: true

or remove any cloud-init module from the "cloud_init_modules:" list.
Simply remove the lines containing:
- set_hostname
- update_hostname
- update_etc_hosts

I hope this helps,

Cheers,
