= fog
fog helps you interact with cloud services. fog is a work in progress.
== Install
sudo gem install fog
== Getting Started
You can start stumbling around as soon as you install with the fog command line tool.
After installing, just type 'fog' to get started.
If you don't have credentials setup it will let you know what to do.
Then just start playing around, fog should let you know if you are forget things.
For example if you try to create a server but leave out stuff:
server = AWS.servers.create
You'll get reminded that things are missing.
ArgumentError: image_id is required for this operation
So just add the missing stuff and you are off to the races:
server = AWS.servers.create(:image_id => 'ami-5ee70037')
But don't forget to cleanup or you'll regret it when you get the bill:
server.destroy
Rinse, repeat, enjoy!
== Working with Servers
Lets boot up a server on EC2
require 'fog'
# initialize a connection to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
connection = Fog::AWS::EC2.new(
:aws_access_key_id => id,
:aws_secret_access_key => key
)
# boot a gentoo server
server = connection.servers.new(:image_id => 'ami-5ee70037')
# wait for it to be ready to do stuff
server.wait_for { ready? }
# DO STUFF
# shutdown the server
server.destroy
Now we will try again, but with Rackspace
# initialize a connection to Rackspace Servers
connection = Fog::Rackspace::Servers.new(
:rackspace_api_key => key,
:rackspace_username => username
)
# boot a gentoo server (flavor 1 = 256, image 3 = gentoo 2008.0)
server = connection.servers.new(:flavor_id => 1, :image_id => 3, :name => 'my_server')
# wait for it to be ready to do stuff
server.wait_for { ready? }
# DO STUFF
# shutdown the server
server.destroy
== Working with Directories and Files
require 'fog'
# initialize a connection to Amazon Simple Storage Solution
connection = Fog::AWS::S3.new(
:aws_access_key_id => id,
:aws_secret_access_key => key
)
# create a directory
directory = connection.directory.create(:name => 'directoryname')
# create a new file in your directory
directory.files.create(:key => 'filename', :body => 'filebody')
# connect to your directory
directory = connection.directories.get('filename')
# get your file
file = directory.files.get('filename')
# delete the file
file.destroy
# delete the directory
directory.destroy
