CloudPowers is a wrapper around AWS and in the future, other cloud service Providers. It was developed specifically for the Brain project but hopefully can be used in any other ruby project that needs to use cloud service providers' resources. Version 1.0 has a some EC2, S3, SQS, SNS, Kinesis, websockets and a few other features you can find in the docs. There is also limitted support for stubbing AWS RESTful API calls. That can come in handy for local testing and extra setup on AWS resource clients. This project is actively being developed, so more additions, specs and docs will be added and updated frequently with new funcionality but the gem will follow good practices for versioning and so the behavior won't change on existing features. Input is always welcome. :thumbsup: Enjoy!
