Build your infrastructure - with Python!
summary
Shows how to script full infrastructure with Python using the Pyrax SDK against OpenStack/Rackspace APIs: authenticating via keyring, creating a Cloud Database instance, two app servers from a prebuilt image, a Cloud Load Balancer with weighted nodes, and DNS records. Demonstrates taking server snapshots for zero‑downtime images and rolling updates, claims faster local Sydney region builds, and contrasts Pyrax with cross‑cloud libcloud and with managed OpenStack Swift backups and autoscaling convenience.
