[Openstack] Tenant name from within an instance

In order to access the API, I'd already have to know the Tenant name. 

This is for automation purposes where I need to be able to run scripts with unique parameters/name per each tenant.

Hey,

I don’t think there is an alternative, you will need to make an API
call to get the name.

The Nova API doesn’t know anything about tenant/project names, it only
works with IDs anyways.
