AWC: 2 hostnames on EC2 instance from custom AMI

I am pre-baking an AMI from which to launch some instances;



The only networking configuration I make, is to add a custom dns as follows:



prepend domain-name-servers 10.3.4.1;



in the ami's /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf;



Then, in an instance I launch from this ami:



root@ip-10-17-0-114:~# cat /etc/hostname
ip-10-17-0-15
root@ip-10-17-0-114:~# hostname
ip-10-17-0-114


Is this behavior normal?

          In your AMI, file /etc/sysconfig/network ensure hostname is set to the below:
          HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain and NETWORKING=yes
