Up

The arcctl up command is the most popular for developers rapidly making changes to their Components. It allows developers to quickly spin up test environments for their Components in a single command:

$ arcctl up ./ --datacenter local

This command will create a completely new environment in the target datacenter, and will keep said environment active so long as the terminal process remains alive. To kill the environment, press Ctrl + C or Cmd + C to send a SIGINT signal which will begin environment cleanup.

By default the up command will use a random, but human-readable name for the environment, but you can manually asign a name with the --environment flag:

$ arcctl up ./ --datacenter local --environment my-test-environment
