CLI

Get started with the Avisi Cloud's CLI tools

CLI Tools Overview

Avisi Cloud offers two main CLI tools for managing resources within the Avisi Managed Environment (AME) platform: acloud and acloud-toolkit. These tools help automate and streamline cloud management workflows, especially in Kubernetes environments.

acloud

The acloud CLI is designed to manage various resources on the AME platform. It provides commands for tasks such as:

• Configuring your local shell and retrieving kubeconfig files for your clusters.
• Managing Kubernetes clusters, node pools, and environments.
• Handling authentication and switching between organizations.

This tool is essential for managing environments, configuring clusters, and obtaining the necessary credentials to interact with your Kubernetes clusters.

acloud-toolkit

The acloud-toolkit is an extended CLI focused on Kubernetes-specific tasks. It provides a set of utilities to help with common cluster operations, such as:

• Managing Kubernetes nodes (e.g., draining and scaling nodes).
• Handling volumes, including resizing, syncing, and batch migrations.
• Managing Kubernetes snapshots and backups.

This toolkit enhances your ability to manage Kubernetes workloads efficiently, allowing for greater control over resources.

Both tools are designed to simplify cloud infrastructure management, with acloud focusing on general platform operations and acloud-toolkit adding Kubernetes-specific functionalities.
