Configure Remote CLI Access
===========================
You can access the system from a remote workstation using one of two methods.
.. _configure-remote-cli-access-ul-jt2-lcy-ljb:
- The first method involves using the remote |CLI| tarball from StarlingX
Public build servers to install a set of container-backed remote CLIs and
clients for accessing a remote |prod-long|. This provides access to the
:command:`system` and :command:`dcmanager` |prod| CLIs, the OpenStack CLI
for Keystone and Barbican in the platform, and Kubernetes-related CLIs
(kubectl, helm). This approach is simple to install, portable across Linux,
macOS, and Windows, and provides access to all |prod-long| CLIs. However,
commands such as those that reference local files or require a shell are
difficult to run in this environment.
- The second method involves installing the :command:`kubectl` and
:command:`helm` clients directly on the remote host. This method only
provides the Kubernetes-related CLIs and requires OS-specific installation
instructions.
The helm client has additional installation requirements applicable to
either of the above two methods.
