David Toy created JCLOUDS-266:
---------------------------------
Summary: softlayer: Use alpha region ids, instead of numeric
(ams01 vs 265592)
Key: JCLOUDS-266
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-266
Project: jclouds
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: jclouds-compute
Environment: api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/
Reporter: David Toy
Priority: Minor
Currently when using SoftLayer (softlayer) regions must be specified using a
numeric 'locationId'.
In addition to the numeric id SoftLayer make a human readable 'name' available
for each region.
Can jclouds:softlayer switch to using the easier alphanumeric name to specify a
region?
e.g. jclouds.softlayer:ams01, rather than jclouds.softlayer:265592.
