Leons Petrazickis updated JCLOUDS-397:
--------------------------------------

    Description: 
Flex Images on Softlayer are the equivalent of AMIs on Amazon EC2. It's not 
currently possible to provision a node based on a Flex Image on Softlayer using 
jclouds. The jclouds listImages() command does not return any Flex Images on 
softlayer.

Since provisioning a node using an imageId is part of the jclouds Compute API, 
and Softlayer is a supported provider, it is reasonable to provide this 
capability as part of the API.
