Fill gaps in the the Key-Value operations guides for Capella caused by the lack of "official" command line clients. Two options were considered:

1. Add cbc and cbc-subdoc instructions wherever the devex docs for Server use these tools
2. Add Couchbase Shell instructions, if possible, using the doc command

At the moment, since cbc and cbc-subdoc are unavailable for Capella, it looks like we'll be going for option 2, Couchbase Shell. Note that this ticket only applies to the devex docs in Capella; we are not replacing the cbc or cbc-subdoc documentation in the Server devex docs.

To standardize on CB shell as the KV command-line tool for Capella ...

No extra effort required. The doc command in CB shell covers all the examples given for cbc and cbc-subdoc in the devex docs.

To make cbc and cbc-subdoc available in Capella ...

We would have to do the following:

• Make cbc and cbc-subdoc available in the Couchbase Server Tools download.
• Add cbc and cbc-subdoc to the Connect section in the Capella UI, enabling users to do the following:
  • get a connection string;
  • specify a user and set access;
  • specify allowed IP addresses;
  • download the root certificate and tell users how to specify the client key and chain certificate;
  • generate a copy-and-paste command containing all this information.

Just as we do for cbsh, the SDKs, and the other command line tools.
