Service access and endpoints

The Cloud Auto Scale service is a regionalized service that allows customers to select the regional endpoint where the Cloud Auto Scale service is provisioned.

Tip

To help you decide which regionalized endpoint to use, see the considerations for choosing a data center in the About regions Rackspace Knowledge Center article.

Regionalized service endpoints

Region	Endpoint
Chicago (ORD)	https://ord.autoscale.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/
Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW)	https://dfw.autoscale.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/
Hong Kong (HKG)	https://hkg.autoscale.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/
London (LON)	https://lon.autoscale.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/
Northern Virginia (IAD)	https://iad.autoscale.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/
Sydney (SYD)	https://syd.autoscale.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/

Note

You should copy the base URLs directly from the catalog rather than trying to construct them manually.

The Identity service returns an endpoint with your account ID. Note the following information about account ID:

• Account ID from the Identity service is the same as the Project ID given by the X-Project-ID header set. (You might also see account ID or project ID referred to as tenant ID.)

• You do not have to provide the account ID for the Cloud Auto Scale API if you have the X-Project-ID header set. (In this case, the Cloud Auto Scale API works with or without the account ID specified.)

• Without the X-Project-ID header, you receive an auth error if the account ID is not in the URL.

• If the account ID is in the URL, the Cloud Auto Scale API will use that ID in place of the X-Project-ID header.

• Account ID and Project ID refer to your Rackspace account number.

Tip

If you do not know your account ID or which data center you are working in, you can find that information in the Cloud Control Panel.
