Civo CLI

Civo CLI is Civo's official command line for provisioning and inspecting cloud resources across compute, Kubernetes, networking, storage, databases, DNS, and account-level settings. It acts as the main shell control surface for a Civo account rather than a narrow single-service wrapper.

• Create, inspect, update, and delete instances, Kubernetes clusters and node pools, networks, firewalls, IPs, volumes, and VPC resources from one CLI.
• Manage databases, backups, restores, resource snapshots, object stores, object store credentials, SSH keys, teams, permissions, quotas, and regions without leaving the terminal.
• Fetch kubeconfig for clusters and export object store credentials for follow-on tooling when you need to bridge from Civo account operations into Kubernetes or S3-compatible workflows.

• Global -o json, -f/--fields, --pretty, --region, and -y/--yes flags make many inspect, create, and delete flows usable in scripts and inspect/change/verify loops.
• Auth can be driven from saved config or CIVO_TOKEN, which is useful for CI and unattended runs, and the command surface is broad enough to cover most routine Civo account operations directly.
• The fit is not perfectly uniform: some commands are human-oriented or side-effect focused, such as kubeconfig updates and credential export flows that do not behave like clean JSON-first resource commands.

• You need Civo API credentials and region context in .civo.json or environment variables before most commands do useful work.
• Load balancer support is incomplete in this repo, with only list and show wired while create, update, and remove remain commented out.
