The REST API for creating instances is fairly minimal. It would be good if we could pass some custom options to it. These would be optional of course, and provider specific.
We allow customers to clone another instance if they want to, or choose a billing method (some like to have multiple CC's or some servers on Wire Transfer etc).
I propose something like, any options that don't match the 4 specified in the API, are bundled up into an opts hash, and given to the providers driver. Then they could use them at will.
Possibly there might be a way for something like the portal to be able to specify some dynamic options by returning a list of options from the driver (or provider api). (Actaully I'm still trying to get the portal working with the mock driver, so I assume it can create instances.)
Any commets/ideas?
