Support for AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB)

[daugustus]

I am unable to find any details about using Fog with the new Application Load Balancers that AWS. Any news on this?

Thanks,

Things are generally added as somebody has a need (or just desire) to use them. I haven't heard any other discussion, so you may be the first one to raise it so far. Would you be interested in helping us work toward that? Thanks!

[daugustus]

That was a thought I had as well. I will take a look and see what is involved.

[geemus]

Sounds good, just let us know if there is anything we can assist with.

[daugustus]

To get started on this, do you have any pointers or guides for this project? or for Ruby in general?

[geemus]

There is a high level overview here: https://github.com/fog/fog/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md as well as http://fog.io/about/structure.html. If you are familiar with one or more of the existing aws services, a lot should be pretty similar too. As for Ruby, there are many good resources online, but I'm a bit of an old hand at this point so I'm not sure I have good recommendations for someone more new to it. Hope that helps!

Has anyone started to work on this? I could use it, so would do so if not.

@rockhunters08 afaik no one has started this and we'd be happy to receive a PR adding support for it.

@lanej Ok, I'll start taking a look at it next week. Thanks.

Does method target_health_descriptions work yet?

• target_health_descriptions returns "(Object doesn't support #inspect)"
• target_health_descriptions.get(ARN) returns "NoMethodError: undefined method `id' for nil:NilClass"
