# anyscale — Command Line Interface for Anyscale

License: unclear · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 982.3K/mo

## What it is and what it does

Anyscale is a client library and command-line tool for interacting with the Anyscale distributed computing platform. It provides both a CLI for administrative tasks and a Python SDK for programmatic access to workload management, service deployment, and cluster orchestration features. The package is actively maintained and supports current Python versions.

The CLI and SDK abstract away the complexity of managing distributed compute resources, allowing you to submit jobs, monitor workloads, and configure services through either shell commands or Python code. It integrates with cloud providers (AWS, GCP) via boto3 and google-auth, and supports Kubernetes deployments. The package depends on a broad set of infrastructure libraries for HTTP communication, YAML parsing, and cloud authentication.

Use it for:

- Submit and monitor distributed compute jobs to the Anyscale platform from a Python script or CI/CD pipeline.
- Manage Ray clusters and workloads through the command-line interface without writing cluster configuration by hand.
- Deploy and manage long-running services on Anyscale infrastructure with automatic scaling and monitoring.
- Integrate Anyscale compute resources into a larger cloud workflow using boto3 and Kubernetes credentials.
- Debug and inspect running workloads and service logs through the CLI or SDK.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Anyscale provides a command-line interface and Python SDK for managing workloads and services on the Anyscale platform, a distributed computing service.

Yes, if you are an Anyscale user or evaluating the platform. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and no known vulnerabilities. However, verify the 'AS License' terms first, as the license treatment is unclear and may impose restrictions. If you are not using Anyscale, this package is not applicable.

## Install

pip install anyscale
uv add anyscale
poetry add anyscale

## Installing anyscale

Before you install: Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel. Actively maintained with a release 4 days old. Requires Python 3.9–3.14; pulls in 28 runtime dependencies including boto3, kubernetes, and aiohttp, which are standard infrastructure libraries.

License in practice: License treatment is unclear: the raw license is listed as 'AS License' with no SPDX identifier. Verify the actual license terms and compatibility with your project before relying on this package in production.

Quickstart:

pip install anyscale

from anyscale import ... # SDK modules vary by use case
# or use the CLI: anyscale --help

Requires Python 3.9–3.14. The package is a platform client; meaningful use requires an Anyscale account and credentials.

Verify before relying:

- What specific SDK modules and classes are available for programmatic use beyond the CLI.
- Whether the 'AS License' is proprietary, open-source, or a custom variant, and what restrictions it imposes.
- How credentials and authentication are configured (environment variables, config files, or other).
