Hi Thomas, The goal is to use rscalr in two ways:
1. Connective tissue between our Jenkins CI targets and Scalr (e.g. to automatically deploy staging builds) 2. As a set of scripts to automate our site release process (ability to role a new WAR gradually across multple servers, etc.) And a distant 3: To provide a unified internal web interface for controlling steps 1 and 2. Hope that helps. nate On Thursday, March 28, 2013 4:02:25 PM UTC-7, Thomas Orozco wrote: > > Hi Nate, > > > I was curious to know how you guys are using this library you built at > Branchout! > > Is this a tool that you're using to interface with the Scalr API from Ruby > applications? > Are you using it as a developer tool for "CLI access" to Scalr (like > https://github.com/Scalr/pecha would?) > Probably something else! > > Thanks! > > On Monday, February 4, 2013 9:56:29 PM UTC-8, Nate Smith wrote: >> >> Thanks, Sebastian! >> >> Very much a work in progress (especially the domain model code), but >> something I hope to continue to improve.
