Product Update: Pagination, Terraform Data Sources, and Command Menu to strengthen the Nirvana control plane

Today’s release focuses on the core control plane of Nirvana, the layer developers interact with every day through the API, Terraform provider, and Dashboard UI.

These updates improve how you navigate, query, and automate your infrastructure across compute, networking, and (soon) storage. We’re introducing three enhancements that make Nirvana smoother, faster, and easier to operate at scale:

API and Dashboard Pagination
Terraform Data Sources for all resources
Dashboard Command Menu (⌘ + K)

What’s New?

1. Pagination (API and Dashboard)

Pagination breaks large lists into smaller pages instead of loading everything at once. This ensures consistent performance, lighter responses, and a Dashboard that remains fast as your infrastructure footprint grows.

2. Terraform Data Sources for All Resources

The Terraform Provider now exposes Data Sources for every resource type

Example:

data "nirvana_compute_vm_os_images" "os_images" {}
resource "nirvana_compute_vm" "vm" {
...
os_image_name = data.nirvana_compute_vm_os_images.vm_os_images.items[0].name # use latest OS image
...
}

Server-side filtering is coming soon. Until then, filtering can be applied client-side.

You can now jump directly to any page in the Dashboard using the Command Menu - accessible in the top right of all pages or by using the keyboard short ⌘ + K. Each feature improves a different part of the developer workflow. Together, they make Nirvana’s control plane more navigable and easier to automate.
