ModelArts CLI Overview

Description

ModelArts CLI, also called ma-cli, is a cross-platform command line tool used to connect to ModelArts and run management commands on ModelArts resources. You can use the interactive command prompt or script to run commands on a terminal. ma-cli allows you to interact with cloud services through ModelArts notebook and on-premises VMs. You can run ma-cli commands for command autocomplete and authentication, as well as creating images, submitting ModelArts training jobs and DLI Spark jobs, and copying OBS data.

Application Scenarios

Log in to the ModelArts console, choose Development Workspace > Notebook, create a notebook instance, start a terminal, and run ma-cli commands.
In local Windows or Linux, install ma-cli and then use it on a local terminal. For details, see (Optional) Installing ma-cli Locally.
- ma-cli cannot be used in Git Bash.
- Terminals such as Linux Bash, Zsh, Fish, WSL, and PowerShell are recommended. To ensure the security of your sensitive information, it is important to prevent any potential leakage when using terminals.
