Ruby Wrapper for BlueBoxGroup API

This ruby library consumes the BlueBoxGroup APIs.

Currently supported:

• Load Balancing
• Servers

Example Usage

You need to specify your BBG_API_KEY in your environment first.

    $ export BBG_API_KEY=123456:abcdefg

Where 123456 is your customer id and abcdefg is your api key. See the Optain your api key section for more information.

Then load up the API in irb:

 $ irb -r './lib/boxcutter'
 1.9.3p194 :001 > apps = Boxcutter::LoadBalancer::Application.all
  => [#<Application id:'88888888-cccc-4444-8888-dddddddddddd' name:'example.com' ip_v4:'192.168.1.1' ip_v6:'::1'>]

Command-line script to remove a machine from a load balancer.

    $ ./bin/remove_machine.rb -h
    Options:
       --backend, -b <s>:   Service backend name (default: default)
       --hostname, -n <s>:  Machine hostname to remove
       --dryrun, -d:        Don't actually remove the server from the backend
       --help, -h:          Show this message

Command-line script to add a machine to a load balancer. This script assumes you have two services, one for http and one for https. It will add the machine to each service, but with the port set to 80.

    $ ./bin/add_machine.rb -h
    Options:
       --backend, -b <s>:   Service backend name (default: default)
       --hostname, -n <s>:  Machine hostname to remove
       --dryrun, -d:        Don't actually remove the server from the backend
       --help, -h:          Show this message

This is definately a work in progress. The goal is to use this wrapper to add and remove servers from the load balancer during a deploy for zero downtime.
