rax

rax: A command line tool that gives you access to Rackspace services.

Services include : Cloud servers, monitoring, load balancers, dns, mailgun etc
Note: rax is currently not usable and still in development.

Goals

• Single dependency: curl (no need to install golang, nodejs, pipi etc)
• Easy and intuitive ways to run commands for Rackspace services.
• Easily spawn up a session on control panel, dashboard when required.

Installation:

curl https://raw.github.com/jverghese/rax/master/rax > rax
chmod +x rax

Setup your Rackspace credentials into ~/.raxcreds with:
