Jun 29 at 12:59 comment added NewSites @TommyZG - Depending on what you mean by "instance," you might be right. I found this "lust..." name in drop-down list immediately to right of "Google Cloud" heading at top-left of console. Opening that list gave me a list of projects, with name and ID for each. There are three projects listed, all default, since I didn't create any of them (at least, not on purpose). Strangely, two of them have the same name, "My First Project". The ID of the first one is "lustrous-walker-427209-h5". I wonder if it's a security problem that my question and these comments have broadcast that ID to the world.
