fog or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Cloud
summary
Creates fog, a Ruby library that abstracts AWS Rackspace Terremark and other providers so identical Ruby scripts can create servers, run SSH bootstraps, gather ping stats, push results to S3-like storage and add DNS records across providers. Describes working code, shows the API calls, reports ~85,000 downloads and 1,000+ GitHub followers, and demonstrates mock mode simulates clouds for testing and servers created and destroyed programmatically so the multi‑cloud uptime service actually runs end‑to‑end.
