OpenStack CLI (Command-Line Interface) is a tool for managing the OpenStack cloud infrastructure through the terminal. It allows administrators and users to work with the cloud directly, without using a graphical interface, which is especially convenient for automation, scripting, and remote management.
CLI tools provide access to all key OpenStack capabilities: creating and managing virtual machines, networks, storage, images, security, and much more. They also allow you to retrieve detailed information about the state of cloud resources and respond promptly to infrastructure events.
To use the CLI, install the OpenStackClient package – it provides the openstack command for managing cloud resources.
