Personally; I'll leave that up to others - as a Rackspace employee, I'm more focused on improving what we do, how we do it, and what we offer and being transparent about that than with direct comparisons to other competitors (real

I'll be around all day to answer questions, or better yet - merge things into the repo to run, execute more tests, etc. I have to hand it to plot.ly - they definitely make charting... addictive.

If you're a developer looking for more benchmarks / comparisons - I put http://developer.rackspace.com/blog/welcome-to-performance-c... up this morning. Raw data in github; and I'd love to get more to ru

Can you drop me a line (jesse.noller@rackspace.com) or a bug report (details here: http://developer.rackspace.com/blog/welcome-to-performance-c... ) so I can add the tests you ran (especially the CBS ones).

We are working as fast as possible to expand it to the other locales as soon as we can.

thanks - let me talk to the teams. I can't talk about migrations / upgrades publicly, but I know the teams have been working on this and thinking hard on it.

Are you talking about the cloud server (nova) hosts, or the dedicated gear?

This is handled completely differently than the startup program discounts. This is an automated discount code via the shopping cart which is applied (which is a first for us as a company).

We don't have data centers in Canada, but Chicago may have recently been annexed to Canada. So, if you are fine with using a US based cloud account, just sign up and use the Chicago region/datacenter. You, and all of Canada are we

We do not have a plan to terminate this discount that anyone has told me. In fact I would like to keep it for the foreseeable future.

by jnoller 13y ago
I'm going to apologize - but I can not comment future-looking/roadmap items like this. I can say I would like it - but beyond that not much else.

by jnoller 13y ago
We do not have an end date for this discount right now. Hopefully we can just continually improve it.

by jnoller 13y ago
I agree; in a perfect world (and the one I'd like to see) we would be able to apply this to existing accounts. Given internal limitations though, it's not as simple as it should be. Let me talk to customer service and see if we ca

Just like kordless said: I concur, this is not good. I'd be just as annoyed as you, so please accept my personal apology. Kord has already filed a tracker issue for this, and I am emailing this straight to the internal teams that contr

Like kordless said: Completely and totally agreed. Tutorials and best practices are critical and it is probably one of my top to-do items.

Nice! This is excellent. We're freely hosting many OSS projects - the more FOSS/.edu/dev discounts, free tiers and benefits we can get out to the world, the better

Got it - escalating to the product teams. As for the final one: > Why does Rackspace's API use "Keystone" auth instead of just API tokens or Oauth like everyone else? We would have to create a special Rackspace auth system

Yes, we're actually very cost competitive for VMs - and cloud files includes a global CDN. I'm really, really, really happy this put us back on your radar. If you run into issues or have questions - jesse.noller@rackspace.com -
