Hi all,

Today, Scalr user BranchOut (career networking on facebook) released its first
open-source code under its Github account, *Rscalr* – a Ruby implementation
of Scalr's API.

The code allows them to script site release procedures, which is a Very
Good Thing for a few reasons:

   - Saves a ton of repetitive typing and clicking around web interfaces
   - Creates consistent, repeatable operations and eliminates fat-finger
   mistakes
   - Allows for automated status and sanity checks to find problems faster

Scalr provides a number of API client examples in different languages, but
didn't have a Ruby example. Since a lot of their cloud management code is
already in Ruby (via Chef), they thought having a Ruby client would be
convenient, and a fun way to improve the author's Ruby proficiency.

You can checkout Rscalr here: https://github.com/branchout/rscalr or just
install the gem via RubyGems: gem install rscalr

This is the first of many contributions that BranchOut Engineering is
making to the open-source community, so we encourage you to follow them.

Cheers,
Sebastian
