yo¶
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.
This documentation site contains instructions on how to install and configure yo, as well as some frequently asked questions and an illustrated list of yo sub-commands.
