=Awsum Awsum (Pronounced Awesome) is a library for working with Amazon web services. The concept of Awsum is to expose the AWS library is the most ruby way possible allowing you to work with objects in a very natural way. ==Quick Start #Create a snapshot for every volume of every instance you own ec2 = Awsum::Ec2.new(, ) ec2.instances.each do |instance| instance.volumes.each do |volume| volume.create_snapshot end end ==Working with different Regions You can use blocks to wrap your calls for a specific Region ec2.region('eu-west-1').use do #Run an instance in the eu-west-1 region run_instance(...) end ==Using the library on an EC2 instance There are two methods specifically for using a library on an EC2 instance Awsum::Ec2#me Awsum::Ec2#user_data To extend the quick start example, you could do #Create a snapshot of every volume of the currently running instance ec2 = Awsum::Ec2.new(, ) ec2.me.volumes.each do |volume| volume.create_snapshot end ==Note: Awsum is currently under active development and only supports EC2 at the moment. Once EC2 is complete, I will focus on S3, SQS, CloudSpace and then others
