change name of Amazon VPC connection

Hi all,

We have multiple Amazon VPC connection. Some of them exist as a backup solution others are active and in use. All in all we have 6 VPC connections at the moment with plans to add some more in the future.
Usually we just download the configuration file from Amazon and import it on the Sophos UTM. This works like a charm. However, unfortunately all connection are automatically named as "vpc-0". That make it really hard to distinc between these connections.

Is there any way how we could rename them to something more useful?

AFAIK there's no option in the GUI but maybe on the console. Also, I would appreciate if Sophos could add this feature in a future release.

I'm not aware of a way to do this. You can make a feature request at UTM (Formerly ASG) Feature Requests: Hot (2266 ideas)

There's no supported way to do this, but it is possible to manipulate the configuration database with cc to do this. It likely would cause you to lose Sophos Support, so I wouldn't do it...

You can see the REF_s of these connections with
cc get amazon_vpc connections

There are cc tools to change attributes and REF_ names, so my guess is that this suggested feature would be easily implemented.
