Traffic Manager

This document explains how to get started using Azure Traffic Manager Service with Fog. With this gem you can create, update, list or delete Traffic Manager Profiles and End Points.

Usage

First of all, you need to require the Fog library by executing:

require 'fog/azurerm'

Create Connection

Next, create a connection to the Traffic Manager Service:

fog_traffic_manager_service = Fog::TrafficManager::AzureRM.new(
      tenant_id:        '<Tenant Id>',                                                          # Tenant Id of Azure Active Directory Application
      client_id:        '<Client Id>',                                                          # Client Id of Azure Active Directory Application
      client_secret:    '<Client Secret>',                                                      # Client Secret of Azure Active Directory Application
      subscription_id:  '<Subscription Id>',                                                    # Subscription Id of an Azure Account
      environment:      '<AzureCloud/AzureChinaCloud/AzureUSGovernment/AzureGermanCloud>'       # Azure cloud environment. Default is AzureCloud.
)

Check Traffic Manager Profile Existence

fog_traffic_manager_service.traffic_manager_profiles.check_traffic_manager_profile_exists('<Resource Group Name>', '<Profile Name>')

Create Traffic Manager Profile

Create a new Traffic Manager Profile. The parameter 'traffic_routing_method' can be 'Performance', 'Weighted' or 'Priority'.

profile = fog_traffic_manager_service.traffic_manager_profiles.create(
        name: '<Profile Name>',
        resource_group: '<Resource Group Name>',
        traffic_routing_method: '<Routing Method Name>',
        relative_name: '<Profile Relative Name>',
        ttl: '<TTL>',
        protocol: '<Protocol Name>',
        port: '<Port Number>',
        path: '<Path>',
        tags: { key1: 'value1', key2: 'value2', keyN: 'valueN' }                          # [Optional]
)

List Traffic Manager Profiles

List Traffic Manager Profiles in a resource group

profiles  = fog_traffic_manager_service.traffic_manager_profiles(resource_group: '<Resource Group Name>')
profiles.each do |profile|
    puts "#{profile.name}"
end

Retrieve a single Traffic Manager Profile

Get a single record of Traffic Manager Profile

profile = fog_traffic_manager_service
             .traffic_manager_profiles
             .get('<Resource Group Name>', '<Profile Name>')
puts "#{profile.name}"

Update a Traffic Manager Profile

Get a Traffic Manager Profile object from the get method and then update that Traffic Manager Profile. You can update the Traffic Manager Profile by passing the modifiable attributes in the form of a hash.

profile.update(
              traffic_routing_method: '<Routing Method Name>',
              ttl: '<TTL>',
              protocol: '<Protocol Name>',
              port: '<Port Number>',
              path: '<Path>'
)

Destroy a single Traffic Manager Profile

Get a Traffic Manager Profile object from the get method and then destroy that Traffic Manager Profile.

profile.destroy

Check Traffic Manager Endpoint Existence

azure_network_service.traffic_manager_end_points.check_traffic_manager_endpoint_exists(
        '<Resource Group Name>',
        '<Profile Name>',
        '<Endpoint Name>',
        '<Type(<Endpoint Type>)>'
)

Create Traffic Manager Endpoint

Traffic Manager Profile is pre-requisite of Traffic Manager Endpoint. Create a new Traffic Manager Endpoint. The parameter 'type' can be 'externalEndpoints, 'azureEndpoints' or 'nestedEndpoints'.

endpoint = azure_network_service.traffic_manager_end_points.create(
        name: '<Endpoint Name>',
        traffic_manager_profile_name: '<Profile Name>',
        resource_group: '<Resource Group Name>',
        type: '<Endpoint Type>',
        target: '<Target URL>',
        endpoint_location: '<Location>'
)

List Traffic Manager Endpoints

List Traffic Manager Endpoints in a resource group.

endpoints  = fog_traffic_manager_service.traffic_manager_end_points(resource_group: '<Resource Group Name>', traffic_manager_profile_name: '<Profile Name>')
endpoints.each do |endpoint|
   puts "#{endpoint.name}"
end

Retrieve a single Traffic Manager Endpoint

Get a single Traffic Manager Endpoint.

endpoint = fog_traffic_manager_service
                 .traffic_manager_end_points
                 .get('<Resource Group Name>', '<Profile Name>', '<Endpoint name>', '<Endpoint Type>')
puts "#{endpoint.name}"

Update a Traffic Manager Endpoint

Get a Traffic Manager Endpoint object from the get method and then update that Traffic Manager Endpoint. You can update the Traffic Manager Endpoint by passing the modifiable attributes in the form of a hash.

endpoint.update(type: '<Endpoint Type>',
                target: '<Target URL>',
                endpoint_location: '<Location>'
)

Destroy a single Traffic Manager Endpoint

Get a Traffic Manager Endpoint object from the get method and then destroy that Traffic Manager Endpoint.

endpoint.destroy
