yo 1.1.0

A fast and simple CLI client for managing OCI instances

yo - fast and simple OCI client

yo is a command-line client for managing OCI instances. It makes launching OCI instances as simple as rudely telling your computer "yo, launch an instance". Its goals are speed, ease of use, and simplicity. It was originally designed to help developers in the Oracle Linux team quickly launch disposable VMs for testing, but is slowly gaining users outside of OL. Here are some examples of how yo tries to improve on the OCI command line and browser tools:

• yo hides other people's VMs from you, so you can just manage your own instances.
• yo doesn't make you type any more than you need. Compartment IDs, common shape configurations, etc can all be stored in your config. It really can be as simple as yo launch (or, for the lazier, yo la).
• yo lets you refer to your instances by name. You should never need to memorize an IP address again.
• yo aggressively caches data to make operations as quick as possible.

Installation

A minimum of Python 3.6 is required in order to use Yo.

Via Pip:

pip install yo oci-cli

This will install the standard OCI CLI alongside Yo, which can be useful as well. After installation, you'll need to configure Yo to work with your OCI tenancy. Please see the documentation for detailed instructions.

Documentation

The documentation contains information on the configuration file, as well as a listing of sub-commands and features offered.

Examples

# Launch an instance based on your default settings, and SSH into it
yo launch -s

# Launch a flexible instance with given shape, size, and name
yo launch -S VM.Standard.E4.Flex --cpu 3 --mem 12 -n my-vm

# SSH into my-vm
yo ssh my-vm

# Copy files to my-vm
yo scp ./files my-vm:

# Terminate my-vm
yo terminate my-vm
