I would think the only thing that MUST be returned is a status url to monitor the setup. The data such is image, name, etc that was used the create the instance would be there too I guess.

We are changing our API around a bit to return the ID of the instance, then as the instance is created we will populate the missing bits.

OK, I have changed my expectation to not expect it...

The docs are a bit vague - shoudl we make it explicit that things like
address might not be set in the intitial response? (that is probably
about it)?
