Notes:
The swiftly conf file is ~/.swiftly.conf (not just ~/.swiftly)

IMPORTANT:
I could not get the Ubuntu 16.04 images to boot properly in RAX Public Cloud. Unfortunately it
seems the software provided for the agents does not properly support SystemD, so they don't
start properly. It's easier to build an instance in RAX Public Cloud in the region you want an
image, clean it up, shut it down and save it as an image. This works very well and is a *lot*
simpler.
