When you instantiate an AMI, you can supply a user-data file, and the
Ubuntu images will execute this as a shell script on startup.  You can
add commands into that file something like the following:

echo "HOSTNAME" > /etc/hostname
echo "127.0.0.1\tHOSTNAME" >> /etc/hosts
hostname --file /etc/hostname

Substitute a name of your choice for HOSTNAME, either manually or
automatically.
