# Introducing the Cua CLI: Manage Cloud Sandboxes from Your Terminal
If you've been using our Cloud Sandboxes, you've probably been managing them through the web dashboard—clicking through forms to create instances, copying credentials, manually starting and stopping sandboxes. It works, but it's not exactly built for speed.
If you've been using our Cloud Sandboxes, you've probably been managing them through the web dashboard - clicking through forms to create instances, copying credentials, manually starting and stopping sandboxes. It works, but it's not exactly built for power users like yourself.
Today we're launching the **CUA CLI**: a command-line tool that brings the full power of our Cloud Sandbox platform to your terminal. Create, manage, and connect to Linux, Windows, or macOS sandboxes in seconds—all from a single command.

The CLI supports both flat and grouped command structures—use whichever fits your workflow:
```bash
# Flat style (quick & concise)
cua list
cua create --os linux --size small --region north-america
cua vnc my-sandbox
# Grouped style (explicit & clear)
cua sb list
cua sb ls
cua sb create --os linux --size small --region north-america
cua sb vnc my-sandbox
# Flat style (quick & concise)
cua ls
cua create --os linux --size small --region north-america
cua vnc my-sandbox
```
Both styles work identically. The CLI shows grouped commands in help by default, but all flat commands remain available for backwards compatibility.
