Open Stack

The libcloud is using compute driver which comply with the Compute API.
http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref-compute-v2.1.html#os-security-groups-v2.1
/v2.1/{tenant_id}/os-security-groups

Rackspace Public Cloud no longer using Compute API to manage security groups. It uses Networking API now.
http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref-networking-v2-ext.html#security_groups
/v2.0/security-groups

You can point libcloud to use OpenStack provider, but that is still pointing to Compute API. Not Networking API.
Looks like Libcloud is not supporting Networking API yet but still using Compute API for network management (such as security groups).

If I understand correctly, you patched libcloud driver locally and you managed to get the SecurityGroup assigned on Rackspace Cloud? If so, consider filing a bug against libcloud and propose a patch to them (it's fairly easy and documented on
https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/development.html#contributing)

I have no idea why that failed, sorry. Maybe the Rackspace folks can help figure this one out.

That may take some time to actually get on the virtual machine. You may want to look at the console logs to see why (if) the curl command failed.

This is the place where you can find the same libcloud tutorial but adapted to shade:

http://developer.openstack.org/draft/firstapp-shade/

It's still in draft because it's missing a chapter (about Swift) but it should be enough for you to move forward.

As a side note, I think the pieces of the first app tutorials that are completed should just be published on the home page, even if the whole book is not completed. Let's put a note in the doc to say "This section is not completed.... contribute it yourself or check again later" is a better service to the community than hiding documentation behind the draft/ site.
