simple example of using virtualbox

fog_virtualbox.rb

require 'fog'

compute = Fog::Compute.new(:provider => 'VirtualBox')

server = compute.servers.create(:name => 'lucid', :os => 'Ubuntu')

medium = compute.mediums.create(:device_type => :hard_disk, :location => '/Users/geemus/geemus/virtualbox_poc/lucid.vmdk', :read_only => false)

storage_controller = server.storage_controllers.create(:bus => :sata, :name => 'sata')
storage_controller.attach(medium, 0)

network_adapter = server.network_adapters.first
network_adapter.mac_address = '080027D8E375'
network_adapter.save

nat_driver = network_adapter.nat_driver
nat_driver.redirects.create(:guest_port => 22, :host_port => 2222)

server.start

Formatador.display('Press return to shutdown/cleanup...')
STDIN.getc

server.destroy

medium.destroy
