Cloud Foundry CLI Plugin Installation
A Cloud Foundry CLI plugin is an extension to the Cloud Foundry Command Line Interface that adds specialized commands for managing specific SAP BTP services or capabilities. Developers install and use these plugins to interact with services such as Custom Domains, application autoscaling, Java application profiling, and service backups directly from the command line. Examples include the Autoscaler plugin, which offers CLI commands for the Autoscaler service, and the Java plugin, which extends the CF CLI with Java-specific functionality such as profiling applications running on SapMachine.
