Chapter 3. Ruby Examples

The Connection class is the entry point of the software development kit. It provides access to the services of the Red Hat Virtualization Manager’s REST API.

The parameters of the Connection class are:

connection = OvirtSDK4::Connection.new(
  url: 'https://engine.example.com/ovirt-engine/api',
  username: 'admin@internal',
  password: '...',
  ca_file: 'ca.pem',
)

connection = OvirtSDK4::Connection.new(
  url: 'https://engine.example.com/ovirt-engine/api',
  username: 'admin@internal',
  password: '...',
  ca_file: 'ca.pem',
)

connection.close

connection.close

The connection, and all the services obtained from it, cannot be used after the connection has been closed.

If the connection fails, the software development kit will raise an Error exception, containing details of the failure.
