Project history and usage
UCloud CLI is the official command-line interface for UCloud services. The project positions the tool as a unified CLI built on UCloud's Go SDK and OpenAPI, with supported builds for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Project history
The public GitHub repository was created in 2018 and early release tags began at 0.1.1 in August 2018. Its changelog shows steady incremental releases focused on UCloud product coverage, UHost operations, generic API calls, cloud-shell adaptation, and later authentication improvements.
Adoption history
Within package-manager culture, UCloud CLI is primarily an operational tool for users of one cloud provider rather than a general cloud abstraction. Its README explicitly documents Homebrew installation for macOS and Linux, source builds, binary releases, Docker usage, and shell completion.
How it is used
The CLI is used to initialize UCloud profiles, store project, region, zone, API endpoint, retry, and key settings under the user's home directory, and then manage UCloud services from scripts or terminals. Recent changelog entries add OAuth browser login for interactive users while preserving AK/SK profile support for scripts and CI.
Why package nerds care
For package nerds, the interesting point is that this is an official cloud CLI with a conventional Homebrew formula, cross-platform binary releases, completion support, and local profile files. It behaves like the small-provider counterpart to larger cloud CLIs, useful when reproducible terminal setup matters more than web-console workflows.
Timeline
- 2018: GitHub repository created and 0.1.1 release published.
- 2020: UHost creation gained user-data and GPU-related flags.
- 2022: Generic signature and multi-region listing improvements appear in the changelog.
- 2024: UHost creation gained SSH key pair and security group support.
- 2026: OAuth browser login and safer config/credential writes were added in 0.3.1.
Related projects
- The README says UCloud CLI works on ucloud-sdk-go and UCloud OpenAPI.
- The package sits in the same CLI niche as provider-specific tools such as awscli, gcloud, and aliyun-cli, but the cited sources only document its UCloud scope.
