DC/OS DocumentationPlugins extend the functionality of the CLI for cluster specific actions.
Plugins are cluster-specific, when switching between different clusters the CLI will automatically use the proper set of plugins installed for that cluster.
Core CLI Plugin
Commands that are specific to a DC/OS version are packaged into a plugin called dcos-core-cli.
In version 0.7, the CLI has the 1.12 Core plugin included which it will automatically install for any cluster that it’s attached to.
The subcommands included in this plugin are:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| dcos job | Deploy and manage jobs in DC/OS. |
| dcos marathon | Deploy and manage applications to DC/OS. |
| dcos node | Administer and manage DC/OS cluster nodes. |
| dcos package | Install and manage DC/OS software packages. |
| dcos service | Manage DC/OS services. |
| dcos task | Manage DC/OS tasks. |
Enterprise CLI Plugin
Commands that are specific to a DC/OS EE version are packaged into a plugin called dcos-enterprise-cli.
The subcommands included in this plugin are:
| Command | Description |

| dcos backup | Access DC/OS backup functionality. |
| dcos license | Manage your DC/OS licenses. |
| dcos security | DC/OS security related commands. |
