The rax inventory plugin provides a way to discovery inventory in the Rackspace Public Cloud by way of pyrax, the official SDK. Grouping will be done if a group:name is found in the instance metadata. When a single host is queried all the instance details are returned with a rax_ prefix. Because inventory plugins cannot take extra arguments, ENV variables must be set to point to the pyrax compatible credentials file and the region to query against.
Ansible
Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, deployment, task-execution, and multinode orchestration framework.

Many users run straight from the development branch (it's generally fine to do so), but you might also wish to consume a release. You can find instructions on http://ansible.cc/docs/gettingstarted.html for a variety of platforms. If you want a tarball of the last release, go to http://ansible.cc/releases/ and you can also install with pip (though that will bring in some optional binary dependencies you normally do not need).
