PX CLI Release Notes

PX CLI is a unified command-line interface for secure, remote access to all Portworx services. You can manage Portworx Enterprise, PX-CSI and Portworx Backup clusters without SSH access to nodes, using TLS-encrypted connections and native Kubernetes RBAC integration. The CLI supports multiple output formats and runs as either a standalone binary (px) or a kubectl plugin (kubectl px).

If you’re setting up PX CLI for the first time, see Install PX CLI. If you already use PX CLI, upgrade to the latest version. For upgrade instructions, see Upgrade PX CLI.
