Cloud Tools
Fedora has many different tools packaged for various cloud providers, including command line interfaces (CLIs) and software development kits (SDKs):
- CLI: command line tools that allow you to query a cloud provider for information or make changes to your cloud deployments
- SDK: code libraries that integrate into other applications that allow you to query and manage cloud resources programmatically
