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.
