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.
