Parameters

Parameter	Choices / Default	Description

`droplet_id` int		A unique identifier for a Droplet instance. If provided, `name` and `region` are ignored.
`module_override_options` dict		Module override options (developer use). Can be used to override module options to support experimental or future options. If provided, these options will knock out existing options.
`name` str		The name of the Droplet to act on. If provided, must be unique and given with `region`.
`region` str		The name of the Droplet to act on. Required with `name`.
`size` str / required		The slug identifier for the size to which you wish to resize the Droplet.
`state` str	Choices: `present` (default) `absent`	State of the resource, `present` to create, `absent` to destroy.
`timeout` int	Default: `300`	Polling timeout in seconds.
`token` str		DigitalOcean API token. There are several environment variables which can be used to provide this value. `DIGITALOCEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN`, `DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN`, `DO_API_TOKEN`, `DO_API_KEY`, `DO_OAUTH_TOKEN` and `OAUTH_TOKEN`
