Title:
  Request the addition of the Region ID to the
  http://169.254.169.254/openstack/meta_data JSON output

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  The meta_data.json output currently includes this:

  { "uuid": "d8e02d56-2648-49a3-bf97-6be8f1204f38", "availability_zone":
  "nova", "hostname": "test.novalocal", "launch_index": 0, "meta": {
  "priority": "low", "role": "webserver" }, "public_keys": { "mykey":
  "ssh-rsa

  We would like to have the following region information output to be
  added added:

  { "uuid": "d8e02d56-2648-49a3-bf97-6be8f1204f38", "region":
  "RegionOne" "availability_zone": "nova", "hostname": "test.novalocal",
  "launch_index": 0, "meta": { "priority": "low", "role": "webserver" },
  "public_keys": { "mykey": "ssh-rsa
  AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAAgQDYVEprvtYJXVOBN0XNKVVRNCRX6BlnNbI+USLGais1sUWPwtSg7z9K9vhbYAPUZcq8c/s5S9dg5vTHbsiyPCIDOKyeHba4MUJq8Oh5b2i71/3BISpyxTBH/uZDHdslW2a+SrPDCeuMMoss9NFhBdKtDkdG9zyi0ibmCP6yMdEX8Q==

  The addition of the Region identifier for federated OpenStack Clouds
  such as HP Helion Public Cloud, the consumer will be able to clearly
  identify in which Region the Compute Instance resides. There are
  currently very limited options for retrieval of the Region information
  without generating a separate certificate to execute additional API
  oriented commands. This capability is needed for security and
  encryption applications such as Porticor to be integrated more fully
  within the OpenStack framework.
