Notes

Note

Keypairs cannot be manipulated, only created and deleted. To “update” a keypair you must first delete and then recreate.
The ability to specify a file path for the public key was added in 1.7
The following environment variables can be used, RAX_USERNAME, RAX_API_KEY, RAX_CREDS_FILE, RAX_CREDENTIALS, RAX_REGION.
RAX_CREDENTIALS and RAX_CREDS_FILE points to a credentials file appropriate for pyrax. See https://github.com/rackspace/pyrax/blob/master/docs/getting_started.md#authenticating
RAX_USERNAME and RAX_API_KEY obviate the use of a credentials file
RAX_REGION defines a Rackspace Public Cloud region (DFW, ORD, LON, …)
