CLI Overview

The Platform9 CLI enables you to easily create one or more on-premises Kubernetes clusters using PMK. In order to create an on-premises cluster using a set of physical or virtual machines using PMK, each of your on-premises nodes must first be prepared with the pre-requisite software packages and connected to the Platform9 management plane. The CLI automates this process and enables you to bootstrap a simple single node cluster, or create multi-master highly available clusters, using a single command.

The CLI can be downloaded and run on any compatible linux system, such as a VM on a laptop or desktop, a linux physical machine, or a virtual machine in your VMware or other IaaS environment in your data center.
