STACKIT Run Command extends STACKIT Compute Engine with the ability to execute commands and scripts directly via the STACKIT API or portal on running instances — without SSH access. Ideal for automation, patch management, and emergency interventions.
Features
- SSH-free Execution: Run scripts on instances without open SSH ports
- API Integration: Full control via the STACKIT API and CLI
- Script Library: Pre-defined scripts for common administration tasks
- Execution Log: Complete logging of all Run Command executions
- Permission Control: STACKIT IAM integration for granular access control
Typical Use Cases
Patch Management: Security updates are applied automatically to all Compute instances without opening SSH connections or configuring jump hosts.
Emergency Access: When SSH configurations are broken or network connections are interrupted, Run Command still provides access to instances for recovery measures.
Benefits
- Security: No open SSH ports required
- Automatable: Full API control for CI/CD and IaC tools
- Auditable: All executions are logged
- Included: No additional charge, part of Compute Engine
