[jira] [Updated] (JCLOUDS-266) softlayer: Use alpha region ids,
instead of numeric (ams01 vs 265592)
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-266?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
David Toy updated JCLOUDS-266:
------------------------------
Description:
Currently when using 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.
JSON from SoftLayer:
{"id":265592,"longName":"Amsterdam 1","name":"ams01","locationAddress":{"accountId":1,"address1":"Paul van Vlissingenstraat 16","city":"Amsterdam","contactName":"SoftLayer","country":"NL","description":"Amsterdam - AMS01","id":3322,"isActive":1,"locationId":265592,"postalCode":"1096 BK","type":{"createDate":"2010-04-06T04:49:15+01:00","id":1,"keyName":"SOFTLAYER_DATACENTER","name":"SoftLayer Datacenter (accepts customer DTS shipments)"}},"regions":[{"description":"AMS01 - Amsterdam - Western Europe","keyname":"AMSTERDAM","sortOrder":11}]}]}"
