Thanks @nacx and @aledsage for your interesting inputs to the conversation.
Let me step back for a moment, I think with this patch I'm trying to make the hardwareId independent of the `project` and `zone`, as GCE URI for MachineType looks like: `https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/jclouds-gce/zones/us-central1-a/machineTypes/f1-micro`. My idea is to simplify the user experience: supplying a short hardwareId, one doesn't need to specify/remember the project + zone, but I understand @nacx when he said this approach may potentially "open the door to future issues, if the provider changes". --- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
