rackspace

(A reconstruction of the rackspace gem that was deleted from github).

A simple ruby interface to various Rackspace Cloud APIs. Currently, the only implemented API is the Cloud Load Balancer API, but others can be implemented very easily.

Load Balancers

Using the API is fairly simple, and the methods are largely self-documenting:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'rackspace'
require 'pp'

lbs = Rackspace::LoadBalancers.new()
lbs.authenticate({
    :username => 'user',
    :key      => 'api-key-here'
})

# Pretty-print a list of load balancer names
puts "Load balancers:\n"
pp list = lbs.list()

# ... and the list of nodes
puts "Nodes on #{list[0]}:\n"
pp lbs.list_nodes(list[0])

TODO

• Implement other APIs/features
• Better documentation
