notes:
    - To use this module, it is required to set the below environment variables which enables access to the
      Centurylink Cloud
          - CLC_V2_API_USERNAME, the account login id for the centurylink cloud
          - CLC_V2_API_PASSWORD, the account password for the centurylink cloud
    - Alternatively, the module accepts the API token and account alias. The API token can be generated using the
      CLC account login and password via the HTTP api call @ https://api.ctl.io/v2/authentication/login
          - CLC_V2_API_TOKEN, the API token generated from https://api.ctl.io/v2/authentication/login
          - CLC_ACCT_ALIAS, the account alias associated with the centurylink cloud
    - Users can set CLC_V2_API_URL to specify an endpoint for pointing to a different CLC environment.
