Attributes Reference

The following attributes are exported. See the resource docs for descriptions:

• region, size, image, networking, vpc_uuid, http_port, http_protocol, environment, auto_pause, auto_resume, endpoint, current_state, created_at, urn.

Note: tags are intentionally not exported. The MicroDroplets API does not return the tags attached at create time, so the data source cannot round-trip them. See the resource docs for details.
