The CLI-Suite facilitates daily work with Platform via the command line and helps with individual automations. Examples of CLI commands are the overview of currently running EC2 instances, backup of MySQL databases or clearing the Varnish cache and AWS Cloudfront. A special add-on to the CLI-Suite is dedicated to containers. Thus, the tools simplify the handling of cloud environments by simple CLI commands.
Scope of the cloud management CLI-suite
The cloud management CLI-suite “r3” is only available on the Bastion Host/Jump-Server of your environment. It is not available on other instances like Web-Servers. Other independently provided tools may be available on other kinds of systems, but are out of scope.
CLI-suite's purpose is:
As shown in the code blocks below, you can invoke the tool suite by just typing the command r3 in console. From there you can get the information, which capabilities it provides. The list of available services can differ between environments!
From the example you can see, that for the example environment operations for only 2 services are available (instance and db).

Shortcuts/Aliases
In order to have fast access to the most important functions the command line suite supports some shortcuts, called Aliases.
For example r3 discover is a shortcut for r3 env discover. The former takes the same arguments as the later. To get used to the shortcuts you can use the described help-functions shown above.
The aliases can be differentiated from the services easily. all Aliases are verbs, whilst all services are named by nouns.
