I did some work last year with AWS, and at that time the RightScale libraries (the right\_aws gem) were the best I could find. In the intervening time, it looks like they’ve bit-rotted - they aren’t compatible with 1.9.1, and it doesn’t look like they are being actively developed. What are people using these days? I notice there are a few forks on github, but again, there doesn’t seem to be much activity that I can see. Is there a stable release anywhere that works with 1.9.1? – Alex ---

Hi Alex, I’m pretty sure the Appoxy fork is the most active and up to date: [http://gemcutter.org/gems/aws](http://gemcutter.org/gems/aws) > **[GitHub - appoxy/aws: Amazon Web Services (AWS) Ruby Gem](https://github.com/appoxy/aws)** > > Amazon Web Services (AWS) Ruby Gem. Contribute to appoxy/aws development by creating an account on GitHub.
