ruby-xen (born sep 2008 - still immature!)

github.com/mbailey/ruby-xen

DESCRIPTION:

ruby-xen is a ruby library for managing Xen virtual servers. It currently wraps the command line tools provided by Xen (xm) as well as Steve Kemps excellent Xen-tools [www.xen-tools.org/software/xen-tools/].

ruby-xen is packaged as a Rails Gem which means you can require it from a Ruby on Rails project and make use of the classes it provides.

ruby-xen can also be used by ruby code or from irb.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

  • FIX (list of features or problems)

SYNOPSIS:

  slice = Slice.find :example
  slice.running? # true
  slice.stop
  slice.running? # false
  slice.start
  slice.running? # true

  slice.backups   # => [#<Xen::Backup:0xb7a96520 @name=:example, @version="20090118">]
  s.create_backup # => #<Xen::Backup:0xb7a922a4 @name=:example, @version="20090123">
