API profile

In the MAAS CLI, an API profile represents a stored set of credentials and connection details for a specific MAAS server. Profiles enable users to manage multiple MAAS environments efficiently by maintaining separate authentication contexts.

Managing API profiles:

  • Login – Authenticate and create a profile using the login command.

  • List – Display all stored profiles with the list command.

  • Switch – Execute commands under a specific profile by prefixing the profile name to a command invocation.

  • Refresh – Update the CLI’s cached information about the MAAS server’s API with the refresh command.

  • Logout – Remove a profile and its credentials using the logout command.

Interact seamlessly with multiple MAAS environments by defining and managing profiles carefully.
