Also, if if find the nodes take a long while to become available.  (Especially the larger nodes with more local disk) you can use this PR [1] in order to keep the root disk 10G and handle the extra local disk within your chef run.   We found requesting the 15 or 30G nodes went from 15-30 min down to ~5.  Without that RS will extend your root disk on provision and its a time consuming proces

You would want to pass in your knife.rb the "v2" option to request and provision next generation servers.  That's what RS calls their OpenStack VM's. 

knife[:rackspace_version] = 'v2'

Is there a way to use the knife rackspace (or openstack) command to build servers on the Openstack-based Rackspace platform? I can't find any information
