+## The new Command-line interface
+    
+This command-line interface is a complete revamp of the command-line interface. Few highlights:
+
+* The CLI internally uses the [Control-plane API](../../../developer/admin-rest-api/overview.md). This provides a single point of view on Workloads removing dissemilarities between the user interface and the command-line interface. 
+* As such, it also removes the need to configure the [Kubernetes API server](../../../admin/authentication/researcher-authentication.md) for authentication. 
+* The CLI is only available for Run:ai cluster version 2.18 and up.
+* The new CLI is backward compatible with the older CLI.
