If you are using automation outside the instance (for example to create the instance) you can pass arbitrary metadata to the instance

Check nova meta and nova boot --meta

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.

 I'm currently looking for ways to be able to
retrieve information on what
 tenant a given openstack instance lives in from within that instance it
 self.


 This information is not available from
 http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data and setting up a nova client to
 access the api is not the way I want to go.
