=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(<access key>, <secret key>)
  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') 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(<access key>, <secret key>)
  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
