The exo-dbaas command is a specialized tool within the Exoscale CLI ecosystem for managing Database as a Service (DBaaS) instances on the Exoscale cloud platform. It enables users to provision, scale, monitor, backup, and terminate managed database clusters supporting engines like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB.

Key functionalities include creating clusters with specified plans, node counts, and versions; listing and describing existing services; updating configurations such as backups, endpoints, and ACLs; managing users and their privileges; and handling maintenance operations. Authentication is required via Exoscale API keys, and operations are zone-specific (e.g., ch-dk-2, de-fra-1).

Designed for DevOps workflows, it integrates seamlessly with other exo commands for IaC automation via scripts or Terraform providers. Usage assumes the Exoscale CLI is installed and configured with exo org set and exo key create.

This command simplifies cloud-native database operations, reducing manual intervention for high-availability setups with automated backups and failover.

Requires Exoscale account and API keys configured. Some operations (e.g., resize) trigger downtime. Not all plans support all engines. Rate limits apply to API calls.
Subcommands: create, delete, list, show, update, user-add, user-remove, acl-add, acl-remove.

Common subcommands: create, list, update, backup, user, endpoint, maintenance.

Run exo key create first; supports organization switching with exo org list.

Introduced in Exoscale CLI v1.0 (2021) with PostgreSQL support; expanded to MySQL/MongoDB in v1.2 (2022); multi-zone and advanced backups in v1.4 (2023). Actively maintained for Exoscale's sovereign cloud offerings.
