SoftLayer Cloud Module

The SoftLayer cloud module is used to control access to the SoftLayer VPS system.

Use of this module only requires the apikey parameter. Set up the cloud configuration at:

/etc/salt/cloud.providers or /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/softlayer.conf:

my-softlayer-config:
  # SoftLayer account api key
  user: MYLOGIN
  apikey: JVkbSJDGHSDKUKSDJfhsdklfjgsjdkflhjlsdfffhgdgjkenrtuinv
  driver: softlayer
