+
+Using this OpenStack provider with Rackspace is not supported and not
+guaranteed to work; however, users have reported success with the
+following notes in mind:
+
+* Interacting with instances has been seen to work. Interacting with
+all other resources is either untested or known to not work.
+
+* Use your _password_ instead of your Rackspace API KEY.
+
+* Explicitly define the public and private networks in your
+instances as shown below:
+
+```
+resource "openstack_compute_instance_v2" "my_instance" {
+  name = "my_instance"
+  region = "DFW"
+  image_id = "fabe045f-43f8-4991-9e6c-5cabd617538c"
+  flavor_id = "general1-4"
+  key_pair = "provisioning_key"

+  network {
+    uuid = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
