Has anybody succesfully deployed a cluster on Rackspace CloudServers? Any pointers? I have fund out by way of trying and failing that the old plugin doesn't work anymore. Any work being done on getting RS support? ---

Since they don't have multicast enabled, you need to configure elasticsearch with unicast discovery and have some of the servers in the list of unicast hosts. The "old" cloud plugin was discontinued and replaced with just the aws plugin, I plan to work on it again post 0.16.

Note that the use\_type setting is only applicable when upgrading from a pre 0.13 version. If thats not the case, make sure not to set it.

Good to know, thanks. BTW it might be a good idea to update the blog posts about the jcloud integration. It kinda makes you think that RS is supported out of the box in the current release.
