New Command for Container Instance Management
Cloudflare has introduced a new CLI command to the Wrangler toolchain: wrangler containers instances. This command provides developers with a convenient way to list and inspect all instances running for a specific Container application directly from the command line.
What's Available
The new command displays comprehensive information about each instance:
- Instance ID - Unique identifier for the instance
- Name - Human-readable instance name
- State - Current operational state
- Location - Geographic region where the instance is running
- Version - Deployed version number
- Creation Time - When the instance was created
Usage
Simply run the command with your application ID:
wrangler containers instances <APPLICATION_ID>
For machine-readable output suitable for automation and CI/CD pipelines, use the --json flag:
wrangler containers instances <APPLICATION_ID> --json
The --json format is automatically used in non-interactive environments such as continuous integration systems, making it easy to parse instance information programmatically.
