# metalcloud-cli infrastructure update

Update infrastructure configuration and metadata

## Synopsis

Update various properties of an infrastructure including its label and custom variables.

This command allows you to modify infrastructure metadata without affecting the deployed
resources. Changes to the infrastructure configuration require a subsequent deploy to
take effect on the actual infrastructure.

Arguments:
  infrastructure_id_or_label  The ID (numeric) or label (string) of the infrastructure to update
  new_label                   Optional new label for the infrastructure

Flags:
  --custom-variables  JSON string containing custom variables to set on the infrastructure

Examples:
  ## Update infrastructure label
  metalcloud-cli infrastructure update 123 "new-cluster-name"

  ## Update only custom variables
  metalcloud-cli infrastructure update web-cluster --custom-variables '{"env":"production","version":"1.2.3"}'

  ## Update both label and custom variables
  metalcloud-cli infrastructure update 123 "prod-cluster" --custom-variables '{"tier":"production"}'

  ## Using the alias
  metalcloud-cli infrastructure edit my-infrastructure new-name

```
metalcloud-cli infrastructure update infrastructure_id_or_label [new_label] [flags]
```
