It would be helpful if the provider_id was exposed so that we can store it upon creation and use the provider's API.

ie. 
"provider": "digital_ocean",
"provider_id": "digital_ocean_server_id",

This would be really helpful. ATM I want to show a list of servers filtered by provider which is not possible without this information.
