CLI Reference

Use this index to choose a command group. Each child page contains exact syntax, options, defaults, and machine-readable output behavior.

Commands that take a workload ID (status, exec, logs, ssh, terminate, and resubmit) let you omit it in an interactive terminal and pick a recent workload. In CI or a pipe, pass the ID or set ANYCLOUD_WORKLOAD_ID.

Commands that render tables generally accept --json. Human prompts and progress go to stderr so structured stdout stays pipeable.

Commands exit 0 on success and 1 on failure. Some commands also use these codes, which scripts can rely on:

Code	Meaning	Commands
`1`	A waited workload failed	`wait`, and `job`/`service`/`vm` with `--wait`
`2`	The wait could not observe a workload	`wait`, `--wait`
`3`	The listing stopped at its limit	`bucket list`
`4`	The wait timed out; workloads keep running	`wait`, `--wait`
`130`	Interrupted with Ctrl-C	Long-running commands

Task	Reference
Create and list finite Jobs	`job`
Create, list, or upgrade Services	`service`
Create and list persistent VMs	`vm`
Create the cluster and its node pools	`cluster` and `node-pool`; guide: Clusters
Create and manage Kubernetes Deployments	`deployment`
Inspect, wait on, and operate workloads	Workload operations
Browse hardware and prices	Catalog and pricing
Inspect or request provider quota	`quota`
Manage object storage	`bucket`
Manage cloud accounts	`credentials`
Manage write-only values	`secrets`
Inspect cost and configure caps	Spend commands
Configure Slack notifications	`notifications`
Manage the API, login, docs, and DB	`api` and utilities

Use anycloud job list, anycloud service list, or anycloud vm list for one workload type. Each accepts ls as an alias. anycloud list shows the combined overview. Filter Deployments by node pool with anycloud deployment list --node-pool <id-or-name> and Jobs by Deployment with anycloud job list --deployment <id>.

Put listing options after list or ls. Those bare names are reserved as subcommands. To launch an image named list or ls, include a tag such as list:latest.
