+# Microsoft Azure SDK for Ruby
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/Azure/azure-sdk-for-ruby.png?branch=dev)](https://travis-ci.org/Azure/azure-sdk-for-ruby)
+
+
+This project provides a Ruby package that makes it easy to access and manage Microsoft Azure Services like Storage, Service Bus and Virtual Machines.
+
+# Library Features
+* Storage
+    * Blobs
+        * create, list, and delete containers, work with container metadata and permissions, list blobs in container
+        * create block and page blobs (from a stream, a file, or a string), work with blob blocks and pages, delete blobs
+        * work with blob properties, metadata, leases, snapshot a blob
+    * Tables
+        * create and delete tables
+        * create, query, insert, update, merge, and delete entities
+    * Queues
+        * create, list, and delete queues, and work with queue metadata
+        * create, get, peek, update, delete messages
+* Service Bus
+    * Queues
+        * create, list and delete queues
+        * send, receive, unlock and delete messages
+    * Topics
+        * create, list, and delete topics

+    * Create VM for a specific virtual network
+* Cloud Service Management
+    * create, list, delete cloud services
+* Storage Account Management
+    * create, list storage accounts, list locations

+* Virtual Network Management
+    * List VNet
+    * Create VNet via parameters or xml file
+
+# Supported Ruby Versions
+
+* Ruby 1.9.3
+* Ruby 2.0
+
+**Notice** that Ruby 2.0 x64 on Windows is not supported due to the [lack of nokogiri](https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/issues/864).
+
+# Getting Started
+
+## Install the rubygem package
+
+You can install the azure rubygem package directly.
+
+```bash
+gem install azure
+```
+
+## Download Source Code
+
+To get the source code of the SDK via **git** just type:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-ruby.git
+cd ./azure-sdk-for-ruby
+```
+Then, run bundler to install all the gem dependencies:
+
+```bash
+bundle install
+```
+
+## Generate Documentation
+
+Running the command ``rdoc`` will generate the API documentation in the `./doc` directory.
+
+## 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](http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial/). After that, you can get the information you need to configure Storage and Service Bus from the [Microsoft Azure Portal](https://manage.windowsazure.com).
+
+There are two ways you can set up the connections:
+
+1. [via code](#via-code)
+2. [via environment variables](#via-environment-variables)
+
+### Via Code
+* Against Microsoft Azure Services in the cloud
+
+  ```ruby
+  require "azure"
+
+  Azure.configure do |config|
+      # Configure these 2 properties to use Storage
+      config.storage_account_name = "<your azure storage account name>"
+      config.storage_access_key   = "<your azure storage access key>"
+      # Configure these 3 properties to use Service Bus
+      config.sb_namespace         = "<your azure service bus namespace>"
+      config.sb_access_key        = "<your azure service bus access key>"
+      config.sb_issuer            = "<your azure service bus issuer>"
+      # Configure these 3 properties to use Service Management. We support passwordless pfx & pem cert formats.
+      config.management_certificate = "<path to your *.pem or *.pfx>"
+      config.subscription_id        = "<your Subscriptionid>"
+      config.management_endpoint    = "https://management.core.windows.net"
+      # This property enables/disables SQL Server authentication. By default SQL Server authentication is enabled. SQL Server authentication will also be enabled if you do not set this property
+      config.sql_database_authentication_mode = <:management_certificate or :sql_server>
+      # Configure SQL Server authentication API endpoint here
+      config.sql_database_management_endpoint = "http://management.database.windows.net:8443"
+  end
+  ```
+* Against local Emulator (Windows Only)
+  ```ruby
+  require "azure"
+
+  Azure.configure do |config|
+      # Configure these 2 properties to use local Storage Emulator
+      config.storage_account_name = "devstoreaccount1"
+      config.storage_access_key   = "Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw=="
+      config.storage_blob_host    = "http://127.0.0.1:10000/devstoreaccount1"
+      config.storage_queue_host   = "http://127.0.0.1:10001/devstoreaccount1"
+      config.storage_table_host   = "http://127.0.0.1:10002/devstoreaccount1"
+      # Local Service Bus Emulator is not supported
+      # Local Service Management emulation is not supported
+  end
+  ```
+### Via Environment Variables
+* Against Microsoft Azure Services in the cloud
+  * Storage
+
+    ```bash
+    AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT = <your azure storage account name>
+    AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY = <your azure storage access key>
+    ```
+  * Service Bus
+
+    ```bash
+    AZURE_SERVICEBUS_NAMESPACE = <your azure service bus namespace>
+    AZURE_SERVICEBUS_ACCESS_KEY = <your azure service bus access key>
+    AZURE_SERVICEBUS_ISSUER = <your azure service bus issuer>
+    ```
+  * Service Management
+
+    ```bash
+    AZURE_MANAGEMENT_CERTIFICATE = <path to *.pem or *.pfx>
+    AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID = <your subscription ID>
+    AZURE_MANAGEMENT_ENDPOINT = <The endpoint URL of Microsoft Azure management service>
+    AZURE_SQL_DATABASE_MANAGEMENT_ENDPOINT = <SQL Database Management Endpoint>
+    AZURE_SQL_DATABASE_AUTHENTICATION_MODE = <:management_certificate or :sql_server>
+    ```
+* Against local Emulator (Windows Only)
+  * Storage
+
+    ```bash
+    AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT = devstoreaccount1
+    AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY = Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==

+    AZURE_STORAGE_TABLE_HOST = http://127.0.0.1:10002/devstoreaccount1
+    ```
+  * Service Bus: not supported
+  * Service Management: not supported
+## Run Test
+You can use the following commands to run:
+* all the tests: ``rake test``
+* a specific suite of tests: ``rake test:integration:blob``
+* one particular test file: ``ruby -I"lib:test" "<path of the test file>"``
+# Usage
+**For more examples, please see the [Microsoft Azure Ruby Developer Center](http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/ruby)**

+# Useful commands for certificate operations
+
+Currently the sdk supports *.pem or *.pfx (passwordless pfx) for service management operations. Following are the steps discussed on various cert operations.
+
+* To create pfx, simply download the publishsettings file for your subscription, copy the contents of Management Certificate from the publishsettings and save it in a file and name the file as your cert.pfx. This pfx will be a passwordless pfx which can be supplied as a cert parameter for Service Management Commands
+* Using the following openssl commands to extract the pem file and pass the pem file as management cert parameter.
+    * To get only private key from pfx use Openssl.exe pkcs12 -in cert.pfx -nocerts -out cert.pem
+  * To remove passphrase from the above private key use ``Openssl.exe rsa -in cert.pem -out certprivnopassword.pem``
+  * To extract both public & private keys from pfx use ``Openssl.exe pkcs12 -in cert.pfx -out certprivpub.pem``
+  * To extract only public key from pem use ``Openssl.exe x509 -inform pem -in certprivpub.pem -pubkey -out certpub.pem -outform pem``
+* Finally copy the public key & private key to a file *.pem and pass that pem file to management cert parameter.
+* To extract pem from custom certificate, export the pfx, follow the above steps to convert to pem and pass that pem file to management cert parameter.
