Running commands

CLI commands are grouped by Yandex Cloud service or component.

Managing a CLI configurationManaging a CLI configuration

Use one of the following to set or change the values of the CLI configuration parameters before executing a command:

• Profiles: They store the value of a parameter (or multiple parameters) to use when running each command.

  You can create multiple profiles and switch between them as you need or run a command once using parameters from another profile by specifying the global --profile parameter.

  For more information about profile management, see the step-by-step instructions.

• Global parameters: They define properties only once when a command is called. Global parameters are available for any command at any nesting level.

For a full list of available configuration parameters, see CLI configuration.

Synchronous command executionSynchronous command execution

Some commands take a long time to execute. In this case, you can control the timing of command execution.
While a command is running, the CLI displays dots in synchronous mode and immediately provides information about the operation in asynchronous mode. For more information about synchronization, see Synchronous and asynchronous modes of command execution.

Connecting to a proxy serverConnecting to a proxy server

The CLI can send requests to Yandex Cloud through a proxy server. To do this, you need to create the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable which the CLI will read for connection parameters. In the variable, specify:

• Login and a password if authentication is required to connect.
• Proxy server domain name or IP address.
• Port to connect to.

export HTTPS_PROXY="https://user:password@hostname:port"

unset HTTPS_PROXY

$Env:HTTPS_PROXY = "https://user:password@hostname:port"

$Env:HTTPS_PROXY = ""

set HTTPS_PROXY=https://user:password@hostname:port

set HTTPS_PROXY=
