The Rackspace cloud module. This module uses the preferred means to set up a libcloud based cloud module and should be used as the general template for setting up additional libcloud based modules.
Please note that the rackspace driver is only intended for 1st gen instances, aka, "the old cloud" at Rackspace. It is required for 1st gen instances, but will not work with OpenStack-based instances. Unless you explicitly have a reason to use it, it is highly recommended that you use the openstack driver instead.
The rackspace cloud module interfaces with the Rackspace public cloud service and requires that two configuration parameters be set for use, user and apikey.
Set up the cloud configuration at /etc/salt/cloud.providers or /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/rackspace.conf:
my-rackspace-config:
provider: rackspace
# The Rackspace login user
user: fred
# The Rackspace user's apikey
apikey: 901d3f579h23c8v73q9
