Manage traffic manager profiles using Ruby

This sample demonstrates how to manage Azure traffic manager profiles using the Ruby SDK.

Run this sample

If you don't already have it, install Ruby and the Ruby DevKit.
If you don't have bundler, install it.
```
gem install bundler
```

Clone the repository.

git clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/traffic-manager-ruby-manage-profiles.git

Install the dependencies using bundle.

cd traffic-manager-ruby-manage-profiles
bundle install

Create an Azure service principal either through Azure CLI, PowerShell or the portal.

Set the following environment variables using the information from the service principle that you created.

export AZURE_TENANT_ID={your tenant id}
export AZURE_CLIENT_ID={your client id}
export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET={your client secret}
export AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID={your subscription id}

[AZURE.NOTE] On Windows, use set instead of export.

Run the sample.
```
bundle exec ruby example.rb
```

What is example.rb doing?

This sample starts by setting up ResourceManagementClient and TrafficeManager objects using your subscription and credentials.

#
# Create the Resource Manager Client with an Application (service principal) token provider
#
subscription_id = ENV['AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID'] || '11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111' # your Azure Subscription Id
provider = MsRestAzure::ApplicationTokenProvider.new(
    ENV['AZURE_TENANT_ID'],
    ENV['AZURE_CLIENT_ID'],
    ENV['AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET'])
credentials = MsRest::TokenCredentials.new(provider)

# resource client
resource_client = Azure::ARM::Resources::ResourceManagementClient.new(credentials)
resource_client.subscription_id = subscription_id

# traffic manager client
traffic_manager_client = Azure::ARM::TrafficManager::TrafficManagerManagementClient.new(credentials)
traffic_manager_client.subscription_id = subscription_id

It registers the subscription for the "Microsoft.Media" namespace and creates a resource group.

#
# Register subscription for 'Microsoft.Media' namespace
#
provider = resource_client.providers.register('Microsoft.Media')

#
# Create a resource group
#
resource_group_params = Azure::ARM::Resources::Models::ResourceGroup.new.tap do |rg|
    rg.location = REGION
end

resource_group = resource_client.resource_groups.create_or_update(RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME, resource_group_params)

There are a couple of supporting functions (print_item and print_properties) that print a resource group and it's properties. With that set up, the sample lists all resource groups for your subscription, it performs these operations.

Create a profile

param = Azure::ARM::TrafficManager::Models::Profile.new
param.location = 'global'
param.traffic_routing_method = 'Performance'
param.dns_config = Azure::ARM::TrafficManager::Models::DnsConfig.new.tap do |dns_config|
    dns_config.relative_name = PROFILE_NAME
    dns_config.ttl = 30
end
param.monitor_config = Azure::ARM::TrafficManager::Models::MonitorConfig.new.tap do |monitor_config|
    monitor_config.protocol = 'HTTP'
    monitor_config.port = 80
    monitor_config.path = '/sample_monitor_page'
end

profile = traffic_manager_client.profiles.create_or_update(RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME, PROFILE_NAME, param)

List profiles

profile_list_result = traffic_manager_client.profiles.list_all

Delete a profile

traffic_manager_client.profiles.delete(RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME, PROFILE_NAME)
