A Ruby SDK for managing Azure cloud infrastructure via Azure Resource Manager (ARM), now retired.
Azure SDK for Ruby - Resource Management was a Ruby software development kit that allowed developers to programmatically manage Azure cloud infrastructure using the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) API. It provided Ruby gems for services like Compute, Network, Storage, and Key Vault, enabling infrastructure automation and management from Ruby applications. The SDK has been retired and is no longer officially supported by Microsoft.
Ruby developers and DevOps engineers who need to automate Azure infrastructure management, deploy resources, or integrate Azure services into Ruby applications.
It offered an official, idiomatic Ruby interface to Azure's ARM API, allowing Ruby teams to manage cloud infrastructure using familiar tools and patterns. The modular gem structure and version profiles provided flexibility for different Azure environments.
Ruby SDK for Azure Resource Manager: build and manage your Azure cloud infrastructure (Compute, Virtual Networks, Storage, etc...) using Ruby.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Supported a wide range of Azure services including Compute, Network, Storage, and Key Vault through dedicated gems, as listed in the README, enabling holistic infrastructure management.
Offered profiles like 'Latest' and 'V2017_03_09' for Azure Stack, allowing compatibility with specific API versions and environments, as detailed in the usage sections.
Provided Ruby-friendly APIs for managing Azure resources, following Azure's resource management patterns while emphasizing modularity through separate gems.
Supported authentication via environment variables, options hash, or a combination, giving developers flexibility in credential management, as explained in the getting started guide.
Officially retired in February 2021 with no support or updates after December 2021, making it risky for production use due to lack of security fixes and bug patches.
Was in preview with warnings of likely breaking interface changes in minor version updates, as noted in the installation section, leading to instability in long-term projects.
Required service principal authentication with multiple steps, which could be difficult for developers unfamiliar with Azure, as described in the prerequisite section.
Had known compatibility issues with x64 Ruby for Windows, as mentioned in the supported Ruby versions, potentially hindering development on certain systems.
