from libcloud.compute.types import Provider
from libcloud.compute.providers import get_driver
cls = get_driver(Provider.RACKSPACE)
driver = cls('username', 'api key', region='iad')
sizes = driver.list_sizes()
images = driver.list_images()
size = [s for s in sizes if s.id == 'performance1-1'][0]
image = [i for i in images if 'Ubuntu 18.04' in i.name][0]
node = driver.create_node(name='libcloud', size=size, image=image)
print(node)

DNS Example - Create a DNS record
from libcloud.dns.types import Provider, RecordType
from libcloud.dns.providers import get_driver
cls = get_driver(Provider.ZERIGO)
driver = cls('email', 'api key')
zones = driver.list_zones()
zone = [zone for zone in zones if zone.domain == 'mydomain.com'][0]
record = zone.create_record(name='www', type=RecordType.A, data='127.0.0.1')
print(record)
