pcloud CLI Release Notes

Version 1.111.0 (2026-02-11)

pcloud compute capacities

  • Introduced pcloud compute capacities command group to manage cloud instance capacities.
  • Use pcloud compute capacities list to view storage type capacities (GB). Supports a --pool <PoolName> flag to list capacities for a specific storage pool.

pcloud compute clouds

  • Added pcloud compute clouds list-regions command to list all regions available for creating cloud instances.
  • The pcloud compute clouds create command now requires the --region flag in its usage synopsis. The flag’s description now points to the new list-regions command for a list of available values

pcloud compute images

  • Updated pcloud compute images create usage to accept an <ImageID> instead of <ImageName>.

pcloud compute volume-groups describe

  • Display a specific instance with --instance
  • Display affinity instances with --instance and --affinity
  • Filter volumes with --filter

pcloud completion

  • Completion now uses a 30 second thread-safe cache for API responses to keep the shell snappy.
  • Enabled positional completion for Instances, Volumes, Networks, Images, SSH Keys, SPPs, and more.
  • Added dynamic completion for flags like --network, --volume, --image, and --keypair.
  • Added more comprehensive setup help

Version 1.110.0 (2025-12-03)

pcloud auth

  • Introduced the new pcloud auth web-login command to authenticate using a web browser.

pcloud compute clouds

  • Added the pcloud compute clouds create command to create a new Cloud Instance in a specific region.
  • Added the pcloud compute clouds delete command to delete an existing Cloud Instance.

pcloud config feature

  • Introduced the new pcloud config feature command group to manage alpha and beta features available in the CLI. Enabling features makes the commands available but does not guarantee the feature is available for your subscription.
  • Warning: pcloud config feature should not be used unless directed by IBM Power for Google Cloud support.
  • Use pcloud config feature enable to enable a specific feature flag.
  • Use pcloud config feature disable to disable a specific feature flag.
  • Use pcloud config feature list to view all available feature flags and their current status.

Version 1.109.0 (2025-11-25)

  • Fix error output when setting virtual machine pin policy to ensure all errors are displayed.
  • Improve error handling for pcloud compute instances create command.
  • Improve error handling for pcloud compute volumes create command.

Version 1.108.0 (2025-09-16)

pcloud auth

  • The pcloud auth login command now supports non-interactive authentication using a Google Cloud Service Account Key file via the --serviceAccountKey flag. See Create a service account key to understand how to create the key file.
  • You can now set the account and cloud instance directly upon login using the --account and --cloudInstance flags.

pcloud compute clouds

  • This new command group is only available if your subscription is using a usage based billing plan.
  • Added the pcloud compute clouds create command to create a new Cloud Instance in a specific region.
  • Added the pcloud compute clouds delete command to delete a Cloud Instance.
  • The default quota for cloud instance count is set to 2. This quota can be increased by contacting support.

pcloud compute sshkeys

  • The pcloud compute sshkeys create command now includes a --keyfile flag to provide an SSH public key from a file.
  • Added support for a broader range of ssh key types (Examples: ecdsa, ed25519…)

pcloud config

  • The pcloud config set account command now supports the --cloudInstance flag to set the cloud instance simultaneously.

pcloud private-connections

  • This new command group is only available if your subscription is using a usage based billing plan.
  • Introduced the new pcloud private-connections command group to manage private connections. This includes the following subcommands:
    • list: View all private connections.
    • describe: Get detailed information for a specific private connection.
    • update: Modify the name, bandwidth, or status (enable/disable) of a private connection.
