Connected Commands

In some scenarios, a command that runs on a specific resource logically requires the use of a different resource. These types of commands are called connected commands. They are executed on a resource in CloudShell but in reality run on the connected resource that performs the action.

For example:

  • A command that powers on/off a router actually runs on a PDU power switch. For additional information, see Power Management.
  • A command that modifies a resource's settings may run on the server that performs the modifications

For instructions on setting up connected commands, see the CloudShell Dev Guide's Defining a connected command (which runs on another resource).
