This section provides background information on the different ways you can access a cloud computing environment like Jetstream2. These include graphical user interfaces (GUIs), command line interfaces (CLIs) and application programmer interfaces (APIs). It outlines the specific interfaces that are available with Jetstream2 and why you might choose each of those interfaces based on your task and technical ability.
