- <p>I wanted to announce the availability of a major new release (version 0.2.2) of the open source &#8216;amazon-ec2&#8217; Ruby Gem. This is for Ruby/Ruby on Rails developers that want their applications to interface with <span class="caps">EC2</span>.</p>

47
- <p>The original release of this gem (&lt;= 0.1.0 about six months ago) was based on the original sample code provided by the <span class="caps">AWS</span> team (Thanks guys!). This new release represents an almost complete re-write of that code and should prove to be much more reliable, easier to use, and feature complete.</p>

49
-
50
- <p>Important : Please note that this is such a major re-write that we were not able to maintain backwards compatibility with the older versions of the gem. So if you are using a version of &#8216;amazon-ec2&#8217; that is less than v 0.2.2 you should carefully read the docs before you upgrade as you will be required to update your code. You will also want to exercise caution if you are actively using the &#8216;Capazon&#8217; gem. &#8216;Capazon&#8217; has been deprecated and we&#8217;ll have more news on that topic soon. If this is your first install and use of the gem then you are good to go!</p>

53
- <p>Some of the major changes are:</p>
54
-
55
-
56
- <ul>
57
- <li>Re-factored all methods to use Ruby Hashes for all parameters. Makes figuring out what options to pass and actually passing them much much easier. Order of params no longer matters and your code will be self documenting when you can read the hash key names for each parameter.</li>
58
- </ul>
59
-
60
-
61
- <ul>
62
- <li>All responses from <span class="caps">EC2</span> are now sent back as an <span class="caps">EC2</span>::Response object. This is an OpenStruct object that contains everything in the <span class="caps">EC2 XML</span> response converted to a real Ruby object data structure. No more parsing responses or error responses. The OpenStruct object is created using XmlSimple and is a one-to-one mapping of the structure in the <span class="caps">EC2</span> response <span class="caps">XML</span>.</li>
63
- </ul>
64
-
65
-
66
- <ul>
67
- <li>A complete exception handling framework has been added. Any exception (either from incorrect args, or as part of the response from <span class="caps">EC2</span>) now throw real Ruby exceptions that are subclassed from <span class="caps">EC2</span>::Error. All of the exceptions defined by <span class="caps">AWS</span> in the developer guide each have their own exception sub-class. This lets you handle exceptions on a case by case basis with a great degree of granularity. Just wrap any calls to <span class="caps">EC2</span> using the gem in a begin/rescue clause. There are no longer any errors that will come back in some kind of text form. Either the command is OK and you get an <span class="caps">EC2</span>::Response object, or their is a problem and you get <span class="caps">EC2</span>::Error or one of its sub-classes.</li>
68
- </ul>
69
-
70
-
71
- <ul>
72
- <li>The gem now has a full unit test suite with several hundred test cases. All public methods on the gem have 100% test case coverage, and the overall code coverage according to rcov is 92%. This has provided us with a much more robust gem and should help us avoid future regression errors with new releases.</li>
73
- </ul>
74
-
75
-
76
- <ul>
77
- <li>The gem is now up to date with the latest version of the <span class="caps">EC2 API</span> (2007-01-19) and all <span class="caps">API</span> methods should be covered. This includes new additions such as the ability to get console output, reboot instances, and running instances with the new <span class="caps">NAT</span> addressing scheme.</li>
78
- </ul>
79
-
80
-
81
- <ul>
82
- <li>The rdocs, website, and <span class="caps">README</span> have undergone significant surgery. The website content is now automatically generated as part of the build and deploy of the gem.</li>

A lot of work by a handful of people has gone into this new release and we hope you enjoy it. Stand by for some more news regarding using this gem with Capistrano in the near future.</p>
