Ruby is a very interesting programming language. One powerful feature is its meta programming capability, which allows you to change the programming constructs at run-time. For example, you can change the definition of an existing class from standard library, which could be useful and dangerous at the same time. That is of course a whole other topic.
As I mentioned in a previous blog, vSphere(VI) Java API can be used in any JVM languages/frameworks. We have samples in Jython, Groovy, Grail. This weekend I got a sample in JRuby shared by our community member Martin Jackson in the API forum. Thanks Martin!
I think it would be fun to share it with you. If you can write Ruby code, you can take advantage of VI Java API for managing and automating vSphere as well. If you have samples leveraging the API to share, I am happy to hear about it.
Now, let us take a look at Martin’s sample code ported from a VI Java API sample.
