All Rackspace customers with a Cloud services account can use Cloud Feeds.

Cloud Feeds is available at no charge.

For information about how to add Cloud Feeds to individual users on your Cloud account, see Cloud Feeds overview.

During the Early Access Program, Cloud Feeds has limited functionality and event notifications. Additional features will be added as development continues, and some existing functionality might change.

The following table shows the kind of information, in the form of events, that you can receive for various Rackspace Cloud services.

Event notifications are stored for up to three days so they can be retrieved when convenient. Events are published in XML format. At this time most events are related to usage, with few system and security events.

We plan to provide the following features in future releases:

• Additional feeds and event types
• Archiving
• Support for JSON-formatted event notifications
• Support for CADF-formatted event notifications
• Daily usage summary for usage-related events
• Feed aggregation across data centers
• Near real-time latency

Cloud Feeds is available in the following regions:

• Chicago (ORD)
• Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW)
• Hong Kong (HKG)
• London (LON)
• Northern Virginia (IAD)
• Sydney (SYD)

The Early Access Program lets customers use and give feedback on our products before a final version is released. This program ensures that our features align with customer business needs. Additional features will be added as development continues, and some existing functionality available during Early Access might change.

During the Early Access period, the Cloud Feeds Terms of Service are available at https://www.rackspace.com/information/legal/testterms. When the Early Access Program is over, the Terms of Service will revert to the standard Cloud Terms of Service.
