Using CLI For Automation

The Platform9 CLI, pf9ctl command, can be used with the --no-promptflag. This allows the CLI to operate within a given automation framework such as Ansible. When using the --no-prompt flag, a CLI command runs in a non-interactive mode that requires no interaction from the user, as it disables all typical user prompts. When a command completes with a zero exit code, it indicates the command has succeeded. A non-zero exit code indicates failure. The CLI commands produces a non-zero code if the required flags are not provided to a sub-command or if an error occurs.
