As of now, we use the "Instance Name" as the unique identifier for the resource (this must follow certain rules), but it would probably be good to allow users to name their instances something nicer. I know that they have the choice to give their instances a name they choose, but don't some of them need to be globally unique? If this is the case, we should have an id and a separate name.

Additionally, the details shown on the cards are somewhat low-level, it might be nice to have "OS" rather than "Disk_image" and have the value be "Ubuntu 20.04" rather than "ubuntu-2004-focal-v20220204"

@brennanwilkes Made good progress on this (can't find the branch right now), though we still may want to improve it further in the future. Nonetheless, I think my old branch that added a friendly name, but introduced a couple bugs, is too far behind to be worth recovering it. So I am deleting that branch and we can make a new one when we want to return to this.
