The Archil Control Plane API provides programmatic access to manage disks, mounts, and API keys in the Archil distributed filesystem platform.
API keys vs. disk tokens. API keys authenticate requests to this Control Plane API and are scoped to your account. Disk tokens are a separate kind of credential, scoped to a single disk, used by clients when mounting. The two are not interchangeable.
