Script to copy a Rackspace server image from one data center (region) to another (by Andrew Howard)
#!/bin/bash
#
# Author: Andrew Howard
# This script will copy an server image from one region to another.
# BE AWARE: This will incur charges for the customer. These charges
# can be minimized by using ServiceNet for the download and by choosing
# to auto-delete the Cloud Files content once the transfer is complete.
# Even with these precautions, the customer will be charged for storage
# fees in Cloud Files (for a single month) and Cloud Images (destination).
# Note: To use ServiceNet, this script MUST be run on a Cloud Server
