## Project history and usage

octl is OUTSCALE's Go-based command-line client for its cloud APIs. It manages IaaS resources, object storage, local virtual-machine metadata, and preliminary Kubernetes cluster functionality.

### Project history

OUTSCALE created the official octl repository in January 2026 and published v0.0.1 in February. The project then followed a rapid pre-1.0 release cadence, with thirty GitHub releases listed by July 2026.

### Adoption history

The project is distributed as a static Linux binary, a Docker image, and through OUTSCALE's Homebrew tap on macOS. Official documentation also provides generated command references and shell-completion setup.

### How it is used

octl accepts direct flags for API request fields, supports high-level resource commands and raw API operations, and can filter output with jq-style expressions. Credentials and region can come from OSC_* environment variables or named profiles in ~/.osc/config.json.

### Why package nerds care

The tool packages a broad cloud API into one static Go executable while retaining completion, command chaining, syntax highlighting, filters, and auto-update behavior. That combination makes it useful to operators who prefer a discoverable shell interface over hand-written JSON requests.

### Timeline

- 2026-01: Official GitHub repository created.
- 2026-02: v0.0.1 published.
- 2026-07: The official repository listed thirty releases.
