DevOps & Automation Tools
Open APIs and IaC compatibility ensure automated, scalable cloud management, facilitating integration, reuse, and security while preparing your platforms for AI.
APIs
All the features of our products shown in the Control Panel (also called Manager) are accessible via our API.
This is available at https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/
A significant portion of our cloud products also have a dedicated API endpoint (e.g., Kubernetes API Server, VMware API, PostgreSQL API, etc).
To maximise compatibility and flexibility, these use open-source APIs, which makes them more accessible.
Below, you’ll find a table with links to the documentation for each of these APIs:
Command Line Interface (CLIs)
Using command line interfaces, you can manage your OVHcloud services easily from a Terminal. They can also be integrated into specific automation or migration scripts.
To find an OVHcloud CLI, go to https://github.com/ovh/ovhcloud-cli
It covers most of OVHcloud services: Hosting and domain, Baremetal & VPS, Public & Private Cloud.
You can also use this CLI directly in your Control Panel via the Cloud Shell feature.
Some products include a CLI for the technology they feature (e.g., kubectl for Managed Kubernetes Service)

MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard. An MCP server is a service that provides structured context and tools to AI models in a standardised way. By acting as a gateway, an MCP server enables AI applications (built on models or agents) to connect with external data, tools and APIs, facilitating the secure and efficient use of external tools.
There are several ways to use the MCP server within the OVHcloud ecosystem. You can use it in your applications via frameworks like LangChain, LangChain4J, etc.
You can also use the MCP server in the Visual Studio Code IDE, for example with Copilot, or with OVHcloud’s SHAI shell agent.

Your questions answered
Why use IaC tools like Terraform instead of manual configuration?
Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools ensure consistency, speed, and repeatability. You can create a version of your infrastructure, review changes before applying them, and roll back if necessary. This minimises human error and helps to keep environments stable and scalable during development, implementation, and production.
How much do IaC solutions cost?
Infrastructure-as-code solutions (API, TF, CLI, etc.) are free. This is an easy way for users to integrate and automate cloud resources.
