Cutting Through the Fog of Cloud
summary
Code-first demo uses the fog gem against Rackspace: provisions two VMs (compute_v2), creates a load balancer with public IPv4/IPv6 and adds a DNS A record. Fog stats shown: 2 million downloads and ~300–400 contributors with 30–60 commits/week; ~36 providers available. Server bootstrap with SSH keys completes (server build ~3 minutes), load balancer returns an address, DNS record is added, and a simple continuous-deploy flow (drain old nodes, add new nodes) is demonstrated end-to-end.
