Versions:
hcloud 1.62.0 is the twentieth consecutive release of the official command-line interface developed by Hetzner Cloud, designed to let DevOps teams, system administrators, and automation engineers control every aspect of the Hetzner public-cloud platform without leaving the terminal. Issued under the Apache 2.0 licence and built in Go, the single-binary tool exposes the complete Cloud API surface as intuitive sub-commands, enabling users to create, resize, snapshot, or delete virtual servers, attach floating IPs, manage SSH keys, provision load balancers, configure networks, firewalls, volumes, and Kubernetes clusters, and stream real-time events or server metrics directly into shell pipelines. Typical workflows include spinning up pre-configured CX or CPX instances for CI runners, scripting blue-green deployments that re-map floating IPs, cloning entire production environments through image snapshots, or embedding cost-tracking queries into nightly cron jobs. Because every operation is idempotent and returns structured JSON, hcloud integrates cleanly with Bash, PowerShell, Python, Terraform, Ansible, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and other automation frameworks, while built-in support for profiles, contexts, and service tokens allows a single workstation to switch securely between multiple Hetzner projects or organisations. The utility is distributed for Windows, macOS, and Linux in both 64-bit and ARM flavours, updates itself in-place, and ships with shell-completion scripts for Bash, Zsh, and Fish, making it a standard component in the Cloud Infrastructure category. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
