# metalcloud-cli extension-instance

Manage extension instances within infrastructure deployments

## Synopsis

Manage extension instances within infrastructure deployments.

Extension instances are concrete deployments of application extensions within a specific infrastructure.
They represent the running or configured state of an extension with specific input variables and configurations.

Each extension instance is tied to an infrastructure and can be configured with custom input
variables that define its behavior. Extension instances go through various lifecycle states
including deployment, running, and deletion.

Available Commands:
  list     List all extension instances in an infrastructure
  get      Retrieve detailed extension instance information
  create   Deploy new extension instance in infrastructure
  update   Modify existing extension instance configuration
  delete   Remove extension instance from infrastructure

Examples:
  metalcloud extension-instance list my-infrastructure
  metalcloud extension-instance create my-infra --extension-id 123 --label "web-server"
  metalcloud extension-instance update inst456 --config-source updated-config.json
  metalcloud extension-instance delete inst456
