What is Cloud Foundry CLI?

Cloud Foundry CLI is a command-line tool for interacting with Cloud Foundry platforms. It allows developers to deploy applications, manage running instances, configure backing services like databases and message queues, monitor application health, and retrieve logs from a terminal. The tool works with any Cloud Foundry-compatible platform, making it useful for teams running their own cloud infrastructure or using Cloud Foundry-based services. It's essential for developers who need to automate deployments, perform troubleshooting, or integrate application management into scripts and CI/CD pipelines. The CLI handles the full lifecycle of application management without requiring a graphical interface.
