You can also create a project from the [Code Engine console](https://cloud.ibm.com/codeengine/overview){: external}. ## List your apps and jobs commands {: #list-workload} Cloud Foundry : `ibmcloud cf apps` Code Engine : `ibmcloud ce app list` : `ibmcloud ce job list` You can also view your applications and jobs from the [Code Engine console](https://cloud.ibm.com/codeengine/overview){: external}. ## Deploy an image as an app or job commands {: #deploy-commands} Cloud Foundry : `ibmcloud cf push` Code Engine : `ibmcloud ce build create` Define a build. : `ibmcloud ce buildrun submit`  Run a build. : `ibmcloud ce app create` Deploy image as an app. : `ibmcloud ce job create` Create a batch job. : `ibmcloud ce app create --build-source . --strategy buildpacks` Build your code and deploy the app in a single step. : `ibmcloud ce job create --build-source . --strategy buildpacks` Build your code and deploy the job in a single step. You can perform these tasks from a single web page in the [Code Engine console](https://cloud.ibm.com/codeengine/overview){: external}. ## Bind a Service to a workload {: #binding-commands} Cloud Foundry : `ibmcloud cf bind-service [AppName] [ServiceInstance]https://cli.cloudfoundry.org/en-US/v6/bind-service.html` Code Engine : `ibmcloud ce app bind --name [AppName] --service-instance [ServiceInstance]` : `ibmcloud ce job bind --name [JobName] --service-instance [ServiceInstance]` ## Update applications or jobs commands {: #update-commands} Cloud Foundry : `ibmcloud cf scale ...` : `ibmcloud cf set-env ...` : `ibmcloud cf push ...` : `ibmcloud cf delete ...` For example, to scale your application to 2 instances, 1 G of memory, and restart it, run `cf scale APP_NAME -i 2 -m 1G -f` Code Engine : `ibmcloud ce app update ...` : `ibmcloud ce job update ...` You can also update your applications and jobs from the [Code Engine console](https://cloud.ibm.com/codeengine/overview){: external}.
