RackSpace Cloud hosting is one of the most popular Cloud hosting services today. For an upcoming product of Leevio, we decided to choose RackSpace for cloud service. RackSpace has a very decent API but quite unfortunately there was no language specific client library available for PHP. The people at Rackspace were developing one for Python but we are solely using PHP for our current project. So we chose to write a PHP Client library ourselves.
As a consequence, a PHP Client library has been released from Leevio and it has been approved by Rackspace. The library is as-expected released under the New BSD license and hosted on it’s own Google Code page.
And lately, we have developed a product page for PHPRackCloud at our website as well.

Have a look at the Wiki Page for documentation. Most of the code is self explanatory and adequate examples have been included in the download package.
The team is very happy and excited because of the recognition from RackSpace. We are glad that we have been able to create something really valuable in the first month of our start up.
Don’t forget, Leevio is still too young… But I believe we have a really long way to go… 🙂 Wish us luck !
