This is a client for Rackspace's Cloud Servers API. There's a Python API (the
cloudservers module), and a command-line script (cloudservers). Each implements
100% of the Rackspace API.
Command-line API
Installing this package gets you a shell command, cloudservers, that you can use
to interact with Rackspace.
You'll need to provide your Rackspace username and API key. You can do this with
the --username and --apikey params, but it's easier to just set them as environment
variables:
export CLOUD_SERVERS_USERNAME=jacobian
export CLOUD_SERVERS_API_KEY=yadayada
You'll find complete documentation on the shell by running cloudservers help:
usage: cloudservers [--username USERNAME] [--apikey APIKEY] ...
