Rackspace Private Cloud Spheres of Support
Previous section: Getting Started with Rackspace Private Cloud - OpenStack
Rackspace Private Cloud powered by OpenStack is the Rackspace architecture for
and support of a production-ready, scalable, OpenStack-based private cloud. Rackspace provides support for
specific server configurations and OpenStack projects in Rackspace Private Cloud
powered by OpenStack v9 and v10.
This document describes what is and is not supported in Rackspace Private Cloud
powered by OpenStack v9 and v10.

Rackspace does not support the contents of user VMs and will not manage the VMs
after they are running. We do not support clients on Windows.
Web and database servers
Rackspace Private Cloud powered by OpenStack uses Apache for its web server and
Galera with MariaDB for its database server. No other web and database servers
are supported.
