fog is the Ruby cloud services library providing a unified interface to compute, storage, DNS, and other cloud services across many providers like AWS. It offers high-level collections for easy cross-provider work, low-level requests for power users, and built-in mocks for testing.

Use cases

• manage AWS EC2 servers from Ruby
• switch cloud providers without rewriting code
• avoid vendor lock-in when working with cloud services
• mock cloud API calls in tests
• script cloud storage and DNS operations in Ruby
• bootstrap cloud usage from an interactive console

When to choose

• you need a unified Ruby API across multiple cloud providers
• you want to avoid vendor lock-in in a Ruby application
• you need mock support for testing cloud integrations
• your provider lacks a metagem and you need the full collection

When to avoid

• you only use a single provider with an available metagem like fog-aws
• you need a provider fog does not support
• you want a modern actively developed cloud SDK
