Description

There is this CoreOS image that we want to provision with jclouds: 70210a69-081e-4a5e-b402-3cdbabfdcddd . When trying to instantiate a server with this image, jclouds returns an error saying the image is not found, but we are able to create such servers via rackspace-supernova.

We noticed something odd that seems could be the cause: when using nova to query the list of images, the above image is not listed. But then we are able to query for details of this image, and and the image is correctly found and the details are available (see below). From this, it would seem like jclouds is trying to verify the image-id with the list of images provided by rackspace, and since this image is not listed by default, jclouds throws an error.
