UpCloud CLI

UpCloud CLI is UpCloud's official command-line client for provisioning and operating UpCloud infrastructure. It covers core compute and networking resources plus managed services such as Kubernetes, databases, object storage, and load balancers.

• Create, inspect, start, stop, modify, relocate, and delete servers, storages, IPs, networks, routers, firewalls, and server groups.
• Provision and operate managed services including Kubernetes clusters, node groups, managed databases, load balancers, file storage, gateways, and object storage users, buckets, access keys, and policies.
• Export kubeconfig or audit logs, inspect account limits or permissions, and clean up whole environments with all list and all purge workflows.

• Global -o json or -o yaml, stable exit codes, and flag-heavy commands make inspect-parse-act loops workable in shell automation.
• Examples are explicitly written as scripts that parse JSON with jq, and many create or delete commands offer --wait support for convergent workflows.
• Best once credentials are already configured, because useful runs depend on UpCloud account context and often combine upctl with tools like kubectl, ssh, or S3 clients.

• Requires UpCloud credentials and account permissions, and most commands operate on billable cloud resources.
• Stack commands are explicitly marked experimental, and some common workflows depend on companion tools outside the CLI.
