                      Examples


                      - name: Load Rackspace Cloud Identity
                        gather_facts: False
                        hosts: local
                        connection: local
                        tasks:
                          - name: Load Identity
                            local_action:
                              module: rax_identity
                              credentials: ~/.raxpub
                              region: DFW
                            register: rackspace_identity

                      Note

                      The following environment variables can be used, RAX_USERNAME, RAX_API_KEY, RAX_CREDS_FILE, RAX_CREDENTIALS, RAX_REGION.

                      Note

                      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

                      Note

                      RAX_USERNAME and RAX_API_KEY obviate the use of a credentials file

                      Note

                      RAX_REGION defines a Rackspace Public Cloud region (DFW, ORD, LON, ...)
