One of the best arguments for Rackspace is that their cloud offering is far more straightforward and easy to use than AWS, and they have boatloads of SDKs (https://developer.rackspace.com/docs/ https://developer.rackspace.com/docs/) and client libraries as well. Even better than Rackspace as far as ease of use is Digital Ocean, which has tutorials very basically every topic you can think of googling and a ton of libraries too (https://developers.digitalocean.com/libraries/ https://developers.digitalocean.com/libraries/). I'm not saying that any of these are better or worse than AWS, but if we're talking in terms of usability and learning curve AWS is a bit of a beast to fully grasp compared to other IaaS offerings out there due to its shear number number of constantly growing offerings.
