You can manage your 3DS OUTSCALE Cloud resources using AWS CLI, a command-line interface (CLI) developed by Amazon Web Services™.

AWS CLI is compatible with all our AWS-compliant API services except Internal Call Unit (ICU). To send requests to the ICU service, you can use either Cockpit or OSC CLI. For more information about using Cockpit and OSC CLI, see Tutorial: Getting Started with the 3DS OUTSCALE Cloud.

For an advanced use of AWS CLI, see Advanced Use of AWS CLI for 3DS OUTSCALE.
