We are pleased to announce the release of the VSS Command Line Interface Public Beta, a unified interface to manage your EIS Virtual Cloud services. Just download and configure VSS CLI and you will be able to manage and deploy virtual machines, templates, networks, VSS account, recent request history and personal storage space. 

The VSS CLI is cross platform (written in Python) and can be installed by running pip install vsscli from your workstation (Linux, macOS, Unix or Windows) and then configure with vss configure. From this point on, API tokens will be generated automatically for you.

We have rolled out with many features ported from the RESTful API and we will keep adding more in the forthcoming releases.
