<h3>Working with Deltacloud Ruby Client</h3>
<p>Each type of a resource has an associated model. Where resource refers to other resources, natural navigation across the object model is possible. For example:</p>
<pre>
puts instance.image.name
puts instance.hardware_profile.architecture
</pre>
<h4 id="realms">Listing realms</h4>
<p>Retrieve a complete list of realms available to you:</p>
<pre>realm = client.realms</pre>
</div>
<div class="span4">
<ul class="nav nav-list well">
<li class="nav-header">Deltacloud Ruby Client</li>
<li class="active"><a href="#realms">Listing realms</a></li>
<li><a href="#profiles">Listing hardware profiles</a></li>
<li><a href="#images">Listing images</a></li>
<li><a href="#instances1">Listing instances</a></li>
<li><a href="#instances2">Lauching instances</a></li>
<li><a href="#instances3">Manipulating instances</a></li>
<li><a href="http://deltacloud.apache.org/ruby-client/doc/index.html">Client documentation</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<p>You can access a specific realm by adding its identifier:</p>
<pre>realm = client.realm( 'us' )</pre>
<h4 id="profiles">Listing hardware profiles</h4>
<p>Display a complete list of hardware profiles available for launching machines:</p>
<pre>hwp = client.hardware_profiles</pre>
<p>You can filter hardware profiles by architecture.</p>
<pre>hardware_profiles = client.hardware_profiles( :architecture=&gt;'x86_64' )</pre>
<p>Retrieve a specific hardware profile by its identifier:</p>
<pre>hardware_profile = client.hardware_profile( 'm1-small' )</pre>
<h4 id="images">Listing images</h4>
<p>Return a complete list of images:</p>
<pre>images = client.images</pre>
<p>Retrieve a list of images owned by the currently authenticated user:</p>
<pre>images = client.images( :owner_id=&gt;:self )</pre>
<p>You can also retrieve a list of images visible to you but owned by a specific user:</p>
<pre>images = client.images( :owner_id=&gt;'daryll' )</pre>
<p>Access a specific image by its identifier:</p>
<pre>image = client.image( 'ami-8675309' )</pre>
<h4 id="instances1">Listing instances</h4>
<p>Get a list of all instances visible to you:</p>
<pre>instances = client.instances</pre>
<p>Retrieve a list of all running instances:</p>
<pre>instances = client.instances( :state =&gt;:running )</pre>
<p>Look up the first instance in the list:</p>
<pre>instance = client.instances.first</pre>
<p>Find a specific instance by its identifier:</p>
<pre>instance = client.instance( 'i-90125' )</pre>
<h4 id="instances2">Launching instances</h4>
<p>Launch an instance using an image identifier:</p>
<pre>instance = client.create_instance(image_id)</pre>
<p>You may specify a hardware profile:</p>
<pre>instance = client.create_instance(image_id, :hwp_id =&gt; 'm1-small')</pre>
<p>To create new instance, you can also use the 'user_name' feature:</p>
<pre>instance = client.create_instance(image_id, :name =&gt; 'myinst1')</pre>
<h4 id="instances3">Manipulating instances</h4>
<p>Start an instance:</p>
<pre>instance.start!</pre>
<p>Execute the 'reboot' operation:</p>
<pre>instance.reboot!</pre>
<p>Destroy an instance:</p>
<pre>instance.destroy!</pre>
