For AWS, we tag the root disk EBS volume with:

   key=Name
   value=${INST_ID}-root

So if you add a machine in Juju and it gets assigned the instance ID
"inst-foo", then the root disk EBS volume will have a Name tag with the
value "inst-foo-root".

I don't know if we can guarantee that this will remain true forever, but it
hasn't changed in a long time.

HTH,
Andrew
