Description

There are some interesting things one can do by setting metadata key-values when creating a Cloud Server at Rackspace. It'd be a bonus to set those at "server create" time via the "knife rackspace" command. I believe Fog supports such a hash already so I suppose it's a question of passing them through.

I'm working on a pull request to this effect, but I don't have a ready time line outside of "sooner rather than later".

Do you have an example of the type of data you are hoping to pass in?

I pulled this PDF doc out of the Rackspace knowledge base: http://public-hw.s3.amazonaws.com/RackConnectCloudServersAPIMetadataOptions.pdf
