This paragraph uses both "Fog Ruby" and "Ruby Fog." Are both correct?
And if it's deprecated, is it really still the default?

I'm changing "Fog Ruby" to "Ruby Fog". For now, the Fog implementation is considered the default. We are replacing Fog with the new "storage-cli" implementation step-by-step and eventuall we'll remove Fog entirely.

What I mean is -- if it's deprecated, why is it still the default?

Well because the transition to the new "storage-cli" implementation is still ongoing. Only for some hyperscalers (AliCloud, Azure) the "storage-cli" implementation is rolled out. For the others, the Ruby Fog implementation is still the default.

To me, deprecated means "no longer supported"/"don't use," so still being default doesn't make sense.
How about wording it something like this:
The new storage-cli solution is being rolled out across the various hyperscalers (AliCloud and Azure, for example, so the Ruby Fog gem is still the default for some hyperscalers.

Well there are different interpretations of "deprecated". In our case it means "no longer actively developed" and "has outdated dependencies", but is still working. So in lack of a replacement, Ruby Fog is still the default for many providers.
But I'll rephrase the paragraph.
