As much as I love to see Rackspace roll out more highly-performing cloud servers, as a customer I'd rather see stability improvements to their core systems.

Their current ("next-gen") cloud offering has had serious noisy-neighbor issues with networking performance, and the maintenance to attempt and resolve these issues architecturally caused some serious pain during two consecutive maintenance windows. ( Hour+ downtime for dozens of nodes. )

Management API availability and reliability also leaves a lot to be desired.

This deserves a post of its own - but what you're saying has been a major focus for our product teams. I can say that reliability, performance, build times, etc have been greatly improved. Let me check with the team to see what I can discuss externally. Drop me a line: [email protected] if you have additional feedback

Have you seen the issues since the maintenance? SDN stability and performance was the key driver as well as updates to OVS.
