Description

The DigitalOceanDriver could provide an interface for shutting down, powering off, and powering on droplets.

• https://developers.digitalocean.com/v1/droplets/

It would be useful to wrap those in the DigitalOceanDriver.

My use case is that after changing the droplet kernel (which I have to do via a separate call to the V2 API) I need to shutdown the droplet gracefully and then power it back on, as part of our cloud acceptance tests.
