OVHcloud Cloud Shell

OVHcloud proposes a Cloud Shell, a ready-to-use terminal in the cloud, making it easier, faster, and safer for users to manage their resources in a terminal interface without worrying about local setup.

What is a OVHcloud Cloud Shell?

A Cloud Shell is a browser-based command-line environment provided by OVHcloud. It gives users pre-authenticated access to manage cloud resources directly inside OVHcloud control panel without needing to install or configure tools on their local machines.

OVHcloud Cloud Shell provides a :

terminal interface accessible directly in the control panel.
integrated authentication — users are already authenticated with their Customer Panel access and get instant access to their resources.

What are the benefits for the users?

Integrated with Cloud Services

You can directly manage OVHcloud resources (Baremetal, VPS, VMs, storage, networking, containers, etc...).

Accessible Anywhere

Since it’s web-based, you can log in from any device with internet access.

In the future, OVHcloud CloudShell might also offer some product features in preview, before their integration in the OVHcloud customer control panel.
