Tomasz Kontusz updated LIBCLOUD-659:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
I'd like to add support for creating nodes from snapshots on Vultr. I'm not sure what the API should be though.

My current idea is extending list_images to also list "custom/$snapshot_id" images, and extending create_node to know how to handle those. I think this is pretty nice, as it'd provide sensible return values for create_image too.
Is this the right approach? Or should I just use the "custom" image Vultr already lists, and add ex_snapshotid to create_node?
