How to Create a Droplet Image via the API for Multiple Regions?

I’m currently trying to create an image for new droplets via the API that will be used in multiple regions. Looking at the API docs, it looks like an image can only be placed in 1 region via the API (all others have to be manually added via the dashboard UI).

Is it possible to automate the replication to other regions so I can write a script to just create/update my images in one go?

Hey @floatinglightcyanangler,

I believe that at the moment you can only do the following snapshot actions:

Action Description
doctl compute snapshot delete Delete a snapshot of a Droplet or volume
doctl compute snapshot get Retrieve a Droplet or volume snapshot
doctl compute snapshot list List Droplet and volume snapshots

The best thing to do to get your voice heard regarding this would be to head over to our Product Ideas board and post a new idea, including as much information as possible for what you’d like to see implemented.

Hope that helps!
