RAX_USERNAME, RAX_API_KEY, RAX_CREDS_FILE, RAX_CREDENTIALS, RAX_REGION.RAX_CREDENTIALS and RAX_CREDS_FILE points to a credentials file appropriate for pyrax. See https://github.com/rackspace/pyrax/blob/master/docs/getting_started.md#authenticating
RAX_USERNAME and RAX_API_KEY obviate the use of a credentials fileRAX_REGION defines a Rackspace Public Cloud region (DFW, ORD, LON, ...)This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
