[digitalocean|compute] Support using slugs and not just ID

[wolf31o2]

DO added "slugs" to their API, which allows referencing objects (such as images, or regions) by name, rather than ID. These names do not change, even when the underlying object and ID are updated.

Wow, are you monitoring my communications? I have been troubleshooting this issue, and just filed: http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/9386 downstream. I doubt the region_id's would change significantly, but the image_id's do appear to be somewhat ephemeral.

Are you working on this, or just reporting it?

For what its worth, this uses the V1 API:

Sounds like a good fix to make, are either of you interested in working on a pull request around this? Thanks!

[wolf31o2]

I was reporting it. I may be able to work it into a sprint at work, since our project coopr would benefit greatly from this.

Cool, thanks for the update!

If I understand the code, it may be a "one line" fix (adding a "slot" to hold the value) in the model?

EDIT: dealing with support issues this morning, will check back in later if I have a "working" model :)

[wolf31o2]

Unfortunately, I have been assigned to other projects at work and won't have time to look into this for quote some time.
