I thought we were going to rely on information from the quote data source to fill in properties in the compute resource. Can you explain why we need the quote_id here?

You can create a bare metal server with the quote_id attribute.

Yes, so they can't use the data source for this? If not, what is the value-add of the quote data source?

Quote data source provides required attributes for bare metal provisioning. You can refer to the quote data source to define a bare metal server resource. Or you can use interpolations to define a bare metal server resource. For example,
package_key_name = "${data.softlayer_quote_bare_metal.bm1.package_key_name}"
...If you want to define a bare metal server resource with a quote data, you can write a definition as follows:
data softlayer_quote_bare_metal quote_bm1{
name = "quote1"
}
resource softlayer_bare_metal bm1 {
...
quote_id = "${data.softlayer_quote_bare_metal.quote_bm1.id}"
...

I don't see why we would need both a quote id and a quote data source. Let's talk about that.

Per your request, the quote_bare_metal data source was deleted.
