Thanks so much for this!

We are also grateful to Rackspace for their generosity, and we
should give them plenty of public credit. HOWEVER:

Please, please make this migration process repeatable.
Most importantly, document a complete list of all
services provided by each asset and the basic information
that is needed to set it up. Even better, do
as much of the work as possible by scripts that can be
saved for later.

And make sure that everything is backed up somewhere
off of Rackspace. (In general, we need a good backup
and recovery plan for every service.)

Because however generous Rackspace is being, in any
business things change. Sometimes suddenly. We cannot
risk our entire ecosystem on their continued generosity.

Thanks,
Yitz
