Using tools such as Packer and Terraform, you can create an image (as a snapshot) and deploy it. Private snapshots can only be deployed by image, not slug. This presents a problem when trying to search for an image ID to use for deployment. Make the image ID available from the dashboard to facilitate uses like this.
It would be nice if you had a mouseover in the web interface to allow us to see the image ID when looking at droplets/snapshots/backups. Merged
