The official documentation describes it as a CLI developed by 3DS OUTSCALE for managing OUTSCALE Cloud resources, compatible with the OUTSCALE API and AWS-compliant APIs. ### Project history GitHub records outscale/osc-cli as created on 2019-01-10. The project shipped as a Python package/SDK, Homebrew formula, AppImage, and Windows zip, giving OUTSCALE users a scriptable interface around cloud API calls. The README marks osc-cli as deprecated and no longer actively maintained, recommending octl as OUTSCALE's maintained successor CLI. That changes the package's historical role from primary vendor CLI to legacy compatibility tooling. ### Adoption history Public adoption evidence is mostly vendor-bounded: the tool serves users of OUTSCALE Cloud rather than a general cloud ecosystem. Its release history shows packaged binaries and the osc-sdk Python distribution, but the upstream project itself points new feature work toward octl. ### How it is used Users configure credentials and region data in ~/.osc/config.json, then invoke commands in the form osc-cli SERVICE CALL with optional profile and call parameters. The docs and README show usage such as osc-cli api ReadVms for API requests. ### Why package nerds care OSC CLI is notable as a vendor cloud CLI that doubled as an SDK package. Package nerds care mostly because its deprecation illustrates a common lifecycle: cloud providers publish a thin API wrapper, package it for several platforms, then replace it with a newer CLI when API shape or UX expectations change. ### Timeline - 2019-01-10: GitHub repository created. - 2021-11-22: release v1.7.1 published with AppImage, zip, and Python package artifacts. - 2023-06-29: release v1.11.0 published. - After v1.11.0: README marks osc-cli deprecated and directs users to octl. ### Related projects - octl is the successor recommended by OUTSCALE. oapi-cli is another OUTSCALE CLI focused on interacting with OUTSCALE APIs. ### Sources - - - - - - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for osc-cli.
