<p class="MsoNormal">> I checked Terraform which presumably uses Heat client (<a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStackClients#Official_Clients)">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStackClients#Official_Clients)</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">> but it also says that Rackspace is not officially supported due to some differences (<a href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.terraform.io%2Fdocs%2Fproviders%2Fopenstack%2F&data=02%7C01%7Crovanleeuwen%40ebay.com%7Ce10ffdbe2a8a449bd82f08d50f59942e%7C46326bff992841a0baca17c16c94ea99%7C0%7C0%7C636431799766958887&sdata=rKqf5ruqVnnoEv0nPuIjFaJaA4ksUFGEqTsdKH86Szo%3D&reserved=0">https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/openstack/</a>).<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A bit off-topic:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Terraform uses the gophercloud go library to talk directly to the Keystone/Neutron/Nova OpenStack APIs
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is not using Heat in the background. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Very simplified I would say terraform is a cloud vendor-neutral (ish) replacement for Heat which is run client-side instead of server-side.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">>Am missing something or Rackspace Cloud and the OpenStack clients are not compatible?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">>Has anyone been successful in fully managing Rackspace with OpenStack tools?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Never played with Rackspace Cloud, cannot help you here.<o:p></o:p></p>
