Quickly growing in popularity with Ruby developers, fog helps you interact with multiple cloud infrastructures easily. An abstraction layer to provision cloud resources across the increasingly vast array of cloud providers, fog provides a unified interface to ease migration between IaaS services and provides mocks to simplify development and testing. Fog currently supports: Amazon Web Services, Terremark, VMware vCloud, Rackspace, Blue Box, Go Grid, Linode, New Servers and Slicehost. Engine Yard also intends for fog to support OpenStack in the future.
We invite you to join Wesley Beary, creator of fog and Engine Yard engineer, to learn how fog can help you move your app between more Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) technologies to prevent potential vendor lock-in. Fog is the ideal library to replace the use of IaaS specific-libraries because it ensures applications are deliberately independent from an IaaS vendor before they are deployed or migrated to the Cloud.
Attendees will learn:
* Modern tools you can use to provision and configure infrastructure to meet your needs.
* How to move between clouds more flexibly to better meet the demands of your application.
* How mock infrastructure can improve testing and speed the development of automation
