Now type `fog` to try stuff, confident that fog will let you know what to do.
Here is an example of wading through server creation for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud:

>> server = Compute[:aws].servers.create
ArgumentError: image_id is required for this operation
```ruby
server = Compute[:aws].servers.create
# => ArgumentError: image_id is required for this operation

>> server = Compute[:aws].servers.create(:image_id => 'ami-5ee70037')
<Fog::AWS::EC2::Server [...]>
server = Compute[:aws].servers.create(:image_id => 'ami-5ee70037')

>> server.destroy # cleanup after yourself or regret it, trust me

server.destroy # cleanup after yourself or regret it, trust me
# => true
```

## Collections

A high level interface to each cloud is provided through collections, such as `images` and `servers`.
You can see a list of available collections by calling `collections` on the connection object.
You can try it out using the `fog` command:

>> Compute[:aws].collections
[:addresses, :directories, ..., :volumes, :zones]
```ruby
Compute[:aws].collections
# => [:addresses, :directories, ..., :volumes, :zones]
```

Some collections are available across multiple providers:

Mocking allows skipping this overhead by providing an in memory representation resources as you make requests.
Enabling mocking easy to use, before you run other commands, simply run:

Fog.mock!
```ruby
Fog.mock!
```

Then proceed as usual, if you run into unimplemented mocks, fog will raise an error and as always contributions are welcome!

Play around and use the console to explore or check out [fog.io](http://fog.io) for more details and examples.
Once you are ready to start scripting fog, here is a quick hint on how to make connections without the command line thing to help you.

# create a compute connection
compute = Fog::Compute.new(:provider => 'AWS', :aws_access_key_id => ACCESS_KEY_ID, :aws_secret_access_key => SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)

```ruby
# create a compute connection
