What action can be performed with the OCI Command Line Interface?

The OCI Command Line Interface (CLI) is a powerful tool that allows users to manage Oracle Cloud resources directly from a command line environment. This includes a wide range of actions such as creating, updating, and deleting various cloud services such as compute instances, storage volumes, and networking components. By using CLI commands, users can automate tasks and integrate Oracle Cloud management into scripts and other development workflows.

For example, if a user wants to spin up a new compute instance or configure network settings, the CLI provides the necessary commands to accomplish those tasks efficiently without needing to navigate through the Oracle Cloud Console. This makes it an ideal option for system administrators and developers who prefer command-line interaction for better automation and scripting capabilities.

While designing network topology, configuring billing settings, and developing software applications are essential aspects of cloud management and development, they are typically handled through other Oracle Cloud tools or services and are not directly facilitated by the OCI CLI itself. Thus, managing Oracle Cloud resources accurately captures the core functionality of the OCI Command Line Interface.
