Astra CLI

A fast, reliable command-line tool for working with DataStax Astra.

The Astra CLI gives you full control of your Astra resources directly from your terminal. It’s designed for developers and operators who prefer automation, scripting, and repeatable workflows over clicking through the Astra Portal or interfacing directly with the APIs.
