cf: Start an interactive SSH session with a VM hosting an app.

$ cf ssh ${app_name}

try on your machine

The command "cf ssh ${app_name}" is used to establish an SSH connection to an application deployed on Cloud Foundry (CF) platform.

Explanation:

"cf" is the command-line interface (CLI) tool used to interact with Cloud Foundry.
"ssh" is the command to initiate an SSH session.
"${app_name}" is a placeholder for the name of the application you want to SSH into. It is typically provided as an argument to the command.

When you run this command, the CF CLI will connect to the Cloud Foundry API endpoint, authenticate, and request an SSH connection to the specified application. If successful, you will enter an interactive SSH session where you can execute commands within the application's environment. This can be useful for troubleshooting, debugging, or performing administrative tasks on the application.

Note that the "cf ssh" command may require certain permissions or configurations to be enabled on the Cloud Foundry platform, and not all platforms or organizations might allow SSH access to applications. Additionally, the command may have additional options or arguments depending on the specific version of the CF CLI you are using.
