This is not only useful for IP addresses, but also for many other resources. I understand that names are currently used as identifiers, so this request is probably not trivial to implement. Maybe distinguishing between a (numeric, automatically generated) identifier and a (textual) label is the way to go?

Is it any hope? We have migrated our IP address to the server with different role, and now the name of this IP address resource doesn't match its role at all. It seems to be trivial enough to momentary reserve static IP address of the old named resource, drop resource, and immediately recreate it with the new name and the old IP address.

This would also improve life when using the Google Deployment Manager (since it otherwise error's out if you've changed a name of an IP)
Description
Problem you have encountered:
Cannot get and list the Mac Address of VM instances when calling the Compute Engine API
What you expected to happen:
Be able to see the MAC address under the "networkInterfaces" attribute.
Steps to reproduce:
Make a list call using the Compute Engine API, you will only see the following:
"networkInterfaces": [
{
"kind": "compute#networkInterface",
"network": "xxxx",
"accessConfigs": [
{
"networkTier": "PREMIUM",
"kind": "compute#accessConfig",
"type": "ONE_TO_ONE_NAT",
"name": "External NAT",
"natIP": "xxxx"
}
],
"networkIP": "10.15.0.2",
"fingerprint": "Yl3nY0j-9Ag=",
"subnetwork": "yyyy",
"name": "nic0"
}
],
Other information (workarounds you have tried, documentation consulted, etc):
You can get the MAC address from within a single VM instance when connected to it and querying the meta data server.
