Thanks Josh, that's Excellent!

This indeed seems to be the root cause of the problem.

To test, added " - package-update-upgrade-install" to the
"cloud_config_modules section of /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg, then
ran:

  # service cloud-config start

Voila, yum immediately installed git. :)

Now to experiment a bit... Ideally, there will be a way to
inject this option somewhere in the filesystem so cloud-init
sees it.  Maybe under /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/.  Will find
out. :)

If there not, then I guess asking Rackspace to include this
option in their builds will be needed.  Worth a shot if the
above fails.

Thank you very much for the assist Josh. :)

Regards and best wishes,
