Updating Rubygems: a necessary step before installing the Amazon gemSubmitted by wnl on Mon, 2010-08-16 10:47.Applications
This article shows you how to install a gem (a ruby package) that provides access to Amazon APIs for EC2, ELB, and RDS. But along the way it also provides important information on the entire Rubygems environment. This information is critical for anyone who is tasked with maintaining a working Ruby environment. Yesterday I posted an entry about using Ruby to access the Amazon EC2 API and I mentioned a gem that provided the classes needed to make such access easy. Gem is the package system for ruby, and fills a role similar to one that CPAN provides for perl. The Amazon gem is called amazon-ec2 and it is written and supported by Glenn Rempe. wnl's blog | add new comment | 358 reads
Using Ruby with Amazon Web Services, an exampleSubmitted by wnl on Sun, 2010-08-15 14:10.Applications
I've been recently extolling the virtues of Ruby on the Lopsa IRC channel so
I thought it would be fun to take a real world problem and write a
Ruby-based solution. This particular problem has to do with
manipulating snapshots in Amazon's EC2. Those who administer EC2
instances know (or should know) that the storage associated with an
instance does not outlast the instance. If you want persistent storage
you have to create a volume of elastic block store. Not only will it
outlast the instance, it can be moved between them and it can be
backed up into something called a snapshot.
On most of our instances we have a cron job that creates a snapshot of wnl's blog | add new comment | 349 reads
