Build a backup solution for Cloud Sites that will allow us to back up per domain to either Cloud Files or S3.

For many of my servers, I only need a few gigs of HD space, but much more memory. We should be able to choose HD and RAM separately.

It would be nice if you could delegate/manage/authorize multiple users in the control panel... like Slicehost.

The idea of one admin user / account sucks. There's no way to collaborate without sharing your admin credentials...

With EC2, I can make have a virtual machine that I only turn on when I need it. I only pay for disk space, and don't have to pay operating costs when it's off. EC2 is the only cloud provider with this feature, which is very useful for me.

When an invoice is generated, email it to the billing contact with PDF attachment.

Offer a smaller Sites service - same managed service but less resources.
We are feeling the downturn and only use a small % of Sites resources. Being asked to cut budgets and maybe move server

Its very frustrating if you live outside of the US and dont want to use Rackspace for billing (in US$) for cloud sites. It seems so simple to release an API for provisioning and data collection. I have asked for over a year now, and its always next quarter, next quarter. When is this coming because until cloud sites can integrate with 3rd party billing software its as useful as a one string guitar.

While the internal IPs are nice, they are still open to the rest of the rackspace world, right?

Having a secure VPN interface that is accessible only to the other machines in the rackspace account would be awesome.

We miss file manager a lot. If you are doing a lot of deployments you need ability to upload a zip then extract it. The current recommended cron method is not at all practical. Please bring some sort of file manager back or find us a decent zip extractor scrip that can scan a folder.

Provide implementation of various types of calendar software (iCal, Google Calendar, etc) that works with the RackSpace calendar. This would also support the use of immediate two-way sync between. Also include a mobile version that is accessible on Droid, iPhone, and BlackBerry...

(From another, similar post)
Provide CalDAV access to calendars: This is the most portable and future-proof way to support access to calendars. This instantly satisfies the need for Mac and Thunderbird + Lightning.

I would love to see it posible to configure/administrate IP address, such that the IP address can be reused on upgraded (virtual) servers. A feature similar to AWS "Elastic IP address" (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/#features) is what I am looking for.

Using the Rackspace suggested method of building new servers and using rsync to copy over data from existing servers - in our case complex application and database configurations and data - would be slow and possibly prone to error. If a server could be moved to another account - let's say a new customer for Rackspace account - then all that would be necessary would be for said new customer to update his DNS and he is ready to go live.

I want to be able to take a cloud server back-up and move it to another account and create a server off of it

Right now, an account only has 1 API key. So that key can be available to devs putting content via scripts. However, we want a separate key for our Cloud File Backups so only our network people can have access to that particular segment.

Please add the option to view cloud files bandwidth usage per bucket. This way we can have seperate clients in seperate buckets and work who is using what bandwidth (and charge accordingly).

If I'm going to sell a cloud server based solution, I need to bill customers back if they use a lot of disk space or bandwidth. Otherwise they might use my application for an unintended purpose (i.e. host ****... who knows).

Support wildcard ssl certs for cloudsites

My Gmail, Facebook, and bank accounts already have an ability to offer a 2 step authentication process by requiring I enter a confirmation number that's sent to my phone.

A feature like this would go a long way to compartmentalizing our security in case, say, our email server was rooted.
