This challenge uses the Rackspace cloud API to do a number of different tasks. I am using the Rackspace SDK 'pyrax' for the bulk of this challenge.
Creates x number of 512M CentOS 6.3 cloud servers. You specify the server names to create in the script.
Makes an image of a cloud server and creates a new server from that image. Specify your values in the script.
Takes local directory and cloud files container as arguments. Uploads all files in the local directory to the container.
Usage: challenge3.py -d <local_dir> -c <container>
Creates an 'A' record in cloud DNS for a domain.
Usage: challenge.py -d <domain> -i <ip_address>
Creates a clound database (instance), database in that instance and a cloud database user. Arguments are specified in the script.
Takes cloud files container as argument and creates a CDN enabled container.
Usage: challenge3.py -c <container>
Creates two servers and adds them to a load balancer. No arguments required.
Creates a new container, CDN enables it, creates an index file object and creates a CNAME record pointing to the CDN URL of the container.
The URL of the CDN container will be "challenge8.<domain_name>". Specify all arguments in the script.
Creates a new server based on the input of a FQDN, image name and RAM size (flavor). The server is named the same as the FQDN. A new domain is created in DNS that corresponds to the provided FQDN and an A record of the server's public IP is added to that domain.
Creates a cloud configuration with Rackspace Cloud products.
- Creates two 512M Ubuntu servers and adds an ssh key to both.
- Creates a load balancer and adds server to the LB.
- Sets up monitoring on the LB with a custom error page.
- Creates a DNS entry based on the FQDN of the LB VIP.
- Creates the error page in cloud files for backup.
All configuration options are inside script.

Creates or lists mailgun routes.
Supply the match_recipient when calling function 'create_route'. The create_route function sets the action as a forward to 'http//cldsrvr.com/challenge1'
The function 'get_routes' takes no arguments.
REQUIRES requests, werkzeug and the werkzeug.MultiDict
