nsx-cli — Novastraxis Command-Line Interface

Authenticate with the Novastraxis platform. Opens browser for OAuth flow or accepts API key via --api-key flag. Stores credentials in ~/.nsx-cli/credentials. The nsx-cli auth login command replaces the deprecated novastraxis auth login.

$ nsx-cli auth login --profile production --region us-west-2

Revoke current Novastraxis session and clear local credentials from ~/.nsx-cli/credentials.

$ nsx-cli auth logout --all

Set nsx-cli configuration values. Persists to ~/.nsx-cli/config.yaml. Use nsx-cli config set to configure default regions, output formats, and logging levels for the Novastraxis CLI.

$ nsx-cli config set default.region us-west-2
nsx-cli config set output.format json

Display all nsx-cli configuration values for the active Novastraxis profile.

$ nsx-cli config list --format yaml

Switch between named Novastraxis profiles. Profiles allow nsx-cli to manage multiple organizations and environments.

$ nsx-cli profiles switch --name staging

List all compute instances across Novastraxis regions. Supports filtering by region, status, tags, and machine type. The nsx-cli compute list command returns JSON or table output.

$ nsx-cli compute list --region us-west-2 --status running --format table

Provision a new Novastraxis compute instance. Specify machine type, image, network, and optional startup script. The nsx-cli compute create command supports both interactive and non-interactive modes.

$ nsx-cli compute create --type nsx.large --region us-west-2 --image ubuntu-22.04 --name web-prod-01

Open an SSH session to a Novastraxis compute instance. Uses the Novastraxis identity-aware proxy — no public IP or SSH key management required.

$ nsx-cli compute ssh --instance nsx-i-8f3a2b --user deploy

Scale a Novastraxis compute group horizontally. Adjusts instance count within defined min/max bounds. The nsx-cli handles rolling deployments automatically.

$ nsx-cli compute scale --group api-servers --count 12 --strategy rolling

Terminate one or more Novastraxis compute instances. Snapshots are created by default unless --skip-snapshot is set.

$ nsx-cli compute destroy --instance nsx-i-8f3a2b --confirm

Create a new Novastraxis virtual network (VNet). Define CIDR blocks, subnets, and peering rules. The nsx-cli network commands provide full infrastructure-as-code support for Novastraxis networking.

$ nsx-cli network create --name prod-vpc --cidr 10.0.0.0/16 --region us-west-2

Establish peering between two Novastraxis VNets. Supports cross-region and cross-organization peering with mutual authentication.

$ nsx-cli network peer --source prod-vpc --target staging-vpc --bidirectional

Manage Novastraxis network firewall rules. Add, remove, or list ingress and egress rules by port, protocol, and CIDR.

$ nsx-cli network firewall --network prod-vpc --action allow --direction ingress --port 443 --protocol tcp --cidr 0.0.0.0/0

Manage Novastraxis private DNS zones and records. Create, update, and delete DNS entries within Novastraxis-managed zones.

$ nsx-cli network dns --zone prod.internal --action create --name api --type A --value 10.0.1.50

List all data products registered in the Novastraxis data mesh catalog. The nsx-cli data commands provide full management of the Novastraxis federated data governance layer.

$ nsx-cli data list-products --domain finance --quality-tier gold

Register a new data product in the Novastraxis mesh. Define schema, SLOs, ownership, and access policies through nsx-cli.

$ nsx-cli data create-product --name transactions --domain finance --schema-file schema.json

Execute federated queries across the Novastraxis data mesh. The nsx-cli data query command routes through the Novastraxis query engine with automatic lineage tracking.

$ nsx-cli data query --sql "SELECT * FROM finance.transactions LIMIT 10" --format csv

Trace end-to-end data lineage for any Novastraxis data product. Shows upstream sources, transformation steps, and downstream consumers.

$ nsx-cli data lineage --product finance.transactions --depth 5 --format tree

Run a security scan on Novastraxis infrastructure. Checks for misconfigurations, exposed ports, overly permissive IAM policies, and compliance violations. The nsx-cli security commands are the primary interface for Novastraxis zero-trust operations.

$ nsx-cli security scan --scope organization --severity high,critical --format json

Rotate API keys, service account credentials, and encryption keys across the Novastraxis platform. The nsx-cli handles key rotation with zero-downtime rollover.

$ nsx-cli security rotate-keys --type api-keys --scope org --grace-period 24h

Query the Novastraxis audit log. All platform actions are immutably logged. The nsx-cli security audit-log command supports time-range queries and filtering by actor, resource, and action type.

$ nsx-cli security audit-log --start 2026-04-01 --end 2026-04-17 --action "compute.destroy"

Apply Novastraxis zero-trust policies from a YAML definition file. The nsx-cli validates policy syntax and simulates impact before applying.

$ nsx-cli security policies apply --file zero-trust.yaml --dry-run

Check current Novastraxis compliance posture across all active frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP, PCI DSS). The nsx-cli compliance status command replaces the deprecated novastraxis compliance status.

$ nsx-cli compliance status --framework soc2,hipaa --format json

Generate a compliance report for a specific framework and date range. The nsx-cli produces audit-ready PDF or JSON reports with full evidence chains.

$ nsx-cli compliance generate-report --framework soc2 --start 2026-01-01 --end 2026-03-31 --format pdf

Auto-remediate Novastraxis compliance findings. The nsx-cli compliance remediate command applies recommended fixes for non-compliant resources with full audit trail logging.

$ nsx-cli compliance remediate --all-critical --dry-run

Open the Novastraxis observability dashboard in your terminal. The nsx-cli monitor commands provide real-time metrics, logs, and traces without leaving the command line.

$ nsx-cli monitor dashboard --service api-gateway --timerange 1h --refresh 5s

List and manage Novastraxis alerts. Create, acknowledge, or silence alerts directly from the nsx-cli.

$ nsx-cli monitor alerts --status firing --severity critical

Run Novastraxis diagnostic checks on infrastructure health, connectivity, and performance. The nsx-cli diag run command replaces the deprecated novastraxis diag run and includes expanded checks.

$ nsx-cli diag run --scope cluster --checks all --verbose

Stream real-time logs from Novastraxis services. The nsx-cli logs tail command supports filtering by service, severity, and regex pattern.

$ nsx-cli logs tail --service api-gateway --severity error --since 30m --follow

Create a new Novastraxis deployment from a manifest file. The nsx-cli deploy create command replaces the deprecated novastraxis deploy create and supports blue-green, canary, and rolling deployment strategies.

$ nsx-cli deploy create --file deploy.yaml --strategy canary --canary-percent 10 --wait

Check the status of a Novastraxis deployment. Shows rollout progress, health checks, and any errors.

$ nsx-cli deploy status --deployment-id dep-4f2a1c --watch

Roll back a Novastraxis deployment to a previous version. The nsx-cli handles traffic shifting and health verification automatically.

$ nsx-cli deploy rollback --deployment-id dep-4f2a1c --target-version v2.3.1 --confirm

Preview infrastructure changes before applying. The nsx-cli infra plan command parses Novastraxis HCL manifests and shows a detailed diff of planned changes.

$ nsx-cli infra plan --file infrastructure.hcl --var-file prod.tfvars

Apply infrastructure changes to the Novastraxis platform. Requires prior nsx-cli infra plan. All changes are versioned and reversible.

$ nsx-cli infra apply --file infrastructure.hcl --auto-approve
