# XM Cloud plugin

The Sitecore CLI XM Cloud plugin helps you create and manage fully provisioned SitecoreAI environments. The plugin provides [the CLI `cloud` command](https://doc.sitecore.com/sai/en/developers/sitecoreai/sitecore-command-line-interface/sitecore-cli-command-reference/the-cli-cloud-command.html "The CLI cloud command") and subcommands for managing projects, environments, and deployments. The resulting environment is a fully provisioned SitecoreAI content management instance.

> [!note]
> **XM Cloud is now SitecoreAI**
> Some code examples, images, and UI labels may still use XM Cloud while engineering assets are being updated.

The plugin is available for *Sitecore CLI version 5.0.0 and later*.
