Microsoft Azure SDK for Ruby - ASM

Build Status Gem Version

This project provides a Ruby package for Azure Service Management, which makes it easy to access and manage Microsoft Azure Services like Storage, Service Bus and Virtual Machines.

  • Azure Service Management (ASM) or Classic: Supported by most existing Azure resources.

If you're looking for Azure Resource Management (ARM), preview version of the Ruby SDK is available here

Information on Azure deployment models: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/azure-classic-rm/

Azure Service Management

Azure Services

Supported Ruby Versions

  • Ruby 2+

Note: x64 Ruby for Windows is known to have some compatibility issues.

Notice

For ruby version >= 1.9.3 and < 2.2.0, please install compatible Nokogiri(version >= 1.6.8), otherwise the installation using old version of bundler or all version of rubygems will report failure.

Getting Started with Azure Service Management

Install the rubygem package

You can install the azure rubygem package directly.

gem install azure

:warning: Azure storage is moving into its own azure-storage gem and GitHub repo. It's in preview today.

Setup Connection

You can use this SDK against the Microsoft Azure Services in the cloud, or against the local Storage Emulator if you are on Windows. Service Bus and Microsoft Azure Service Management emulation are not supported. Of course, to use the Microsoft Azure Services in the cloud, you need to first create a Microsoft Azure account. After that, you can get the information you need to configure Storage and Service Bus from the Microsoft Azure Portal.

There are two ways you can set up the connections:

  1. via code
  2. via environment variables

Via Code

  • Against Microsoft Azure Services in the cloud

  require "azure"

  Azure. = "<your azure storage account name>"
  Azure.storage_access_key   = "<your azure storage access key>"

  # Configure these 3 properties to use Service Bus
  Azure.sb_namespace         = "<your azure service bus namespace>"
  Azure.sb_access_key        = "<your azure service bus access key>"
  Azure.sb_issuer            = "<your azure service bus issuer>"

  # Configure these 3 properties to use Service Management. We support passwordless pfx & pem cert formats.
  Azure.management_certificate = "<path to your *.pem or *.pfx>"
  Azure.subscription_id        = "<your Subscriptionid>"

  # Configure a ca_cert.pem file if you are having issues with ssl peer verification
  Azure.ca_file = "./ca_file.pem"

  # Or create a specific instance of an Azure.client, which will inherit your default configuration settings.
  client = Azure.client(storage_account_name: "your account name", storage_access_key: "your access key")
  • Against local Emulator (Windows Only)

  require "azure"

  # Configure these 2 properties to use local Storage Emulator
  Azure. = "devstoreaccount1"
  Azure.storage_access_key   = "Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw=="

  Azure.storage_blob_host    = "http://127.0.0.1:10000/devstoreaccount1"
  Azure.storage_queue_host   = "http://127.0.0.1:10001/devstoreaccount1"
  Azure.storage_table_host   = "http://127.0.0.1:10002/devstoreaccount1"

  # For Azure Government make sure to provide the full URI to the endpoint

Usage

Storage

Setup your Storage Credentials


# Require the azure rubygem
require "azure"

# Add your default storage credentials
Azure. = "your account name"
Azure.storage_access_key = "your access key"

# Or create a specific instance of an Azure.client
client = Azure.client(storage_account_name: "your account name", storage_access_key: "your access key")

default_blobs = Azure.blobs     # uses the Azure.storage_account_name and Azure.storage_access_key

blobs = client.blobs            # uses the client.storage_account_name and client.storage_access_key

Azure storage is available its own azure-storage gem and GitHub repo

Relay


# Require the azure rubygem
require "azure"

# Create an azure service bus object
service_bus = Azure.service_bus

# Create a relay endpoint with just the endpoint name
relay1 = service_bus.create_relay("test-relay-1", { :relay_type => "Http" })

# Create a relay endpoint with a relay object
relay2 = Azure::ServiceBus::Relay.new("test-relay-2")
relay2.requires_client_authorization = false
relay2 = service_bus.create_relay(relay2)

# Delete a relay endpoint
service_bus.delete_relay("test-relay2")

# Require the azure rubygem
require "azure"

# Create an azure service bus object
service_bus = Azure.service_bus

# Create a topic with just the topic name
topic1 = service_bus.create_topic("test-topic-1")

# Create a topic with a topic object
topic2 = Azure::ServiceBus::Topic.new("test-topic-2")
topic2.max_size_in_megabytes = 2048
topic2 = service_bus.create_topic(topic2)

# Create a subscription
subscription = Azure::ServiceBus::Subscription.new("test-subscription-1")
subscription.topic = topic1.name
subscription = service_bus.create_subscription(subscription)

# Send a topic message with just the message body
azure_service_bus.send_topic_message(topic1, "test topic message")

# Send a topic message with a brokered message object
message = Azure::ServiceBus::BrokeredMessage.new("another test topic message")
message.correlation_id = "test-correlation-id-1"
service_bus.send_topic_message(topic1, message)

# Receive a subscription message
message = service_bus.receive_subscription_message(topic1.name, subscription.name)

Getting Started with Certificates

Currently the sdk supports *.pem or *.pfx (passwordless pfx) for service management operations. Following are the steps discussed on various cert operations.

Get Started with Publish Settings

  • To create a pfx from the publishsettings, simply download the publishsettings file for your subscription https://manage.windowsazure.com/publishsettings. Make sure you have this gem installed and run pfxer transform --in [path to your .publishsettings file]. This will create a .pfx from your publish settings file which can be supplied as a cert parameter for Service Management Commands.

Get Started with OpenSSL

  • Using the following openssl commands to create a cert and upload to Azure Management
    • Generate public and private openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout cert.pem -out cert.pem
    • Generate public .cer for Azure upload openssl x509 -inform pem -in cert.pem -outform der -out mgmt.cer
    • Upload the mgmt.cer to Azure Management through https://management.azure.com
    • Use cert.pem as your cert parameter for Service Management Commands.

Contribute Code or Provide Feedback

  1. Fork it
  2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
  3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
  4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)

Development Environment Setup

Download Source Code

To get the source code of the SDK via git just type:

git clone https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-ruby.git
cd ./azure-sdk-for-ruby
git remote add upstream https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-ruby.git
git checkout -b asm upstream/asm

Run bundler to install all the gem dependencies:

bundle install

Setup the Environment for Integration Tests

If you would like to run the integration test suite, you will need to setup environment variables which will be used during the integration tests. These tests will use these credentials to run live tests against Azure with the provided credentials (you will be charged for usage, so verify the clean up scripts did their job at the end of a test run).

The root of the project contains a .env_sample file. This dot file is a sample of the actual environment vars needed to run the integration tests.

Do the following to prepare your environment for integration tests:

  • Copy .env_sample to .env relative to root of the project dir
  • Update .env with your credentials .env is in the .gitignore, so should only reside locally

Azure Service Management integration tests use VCR, so they are recorded and can be easily played back without consuming any Azure live resources.

Run Tests

You can use the following commands to run:

  • All the tests: rake test. This will run integration tests if you have .env file or env vars setup
  • A specific suite of tests: rake test:unit, rake test:integration, rake test:integration:blob, etc.
  • one particular test file: ruby -I"lib:test" "<path of the test file>"

To run VCR tests:

  • Set the following environment variable INTEG_RECORDED = true, then run rake test:recorded

Generate Documentation

Running the command yard will generate the API documentation in the ./doc directory.

Provide Feedback

If you encounter any bugs with the library please file an issue in the Issues section of the project. Please make sure to label the issues with either arm or asm to help us expedite the process.
