You can finally manage AI Search with Terraform! v5.15.0 is packed with new features

Hey, it's me! Cloudflare's Terraform provider has a new release today, and this one isn't just bug fixes — there's a bunch of exciting new feature support packed in!

What was announced?

According to the Cloudflare Changelog, Terraform provider v5.15.0 was released on December 19, 2025. The v5 provider continues its 2-3 week improvement cadence, and the shift from fixing issues one at a time to stabilizing resources one at a time (resource-per-resource) is still ongoing.

The story so far

Previous v5 provider releases mostly focused on resolving community-reported issues to stabilize existing resources. This release keeps up that work, but it also stands out for bundling in a batch of new resource support.

What changes

A lot of new features landed in this release:

• ai_search: new support for AI Search endpoints
• certificate_pack: proper handling of Terraform resource IDs for path parameters in API calls
• worker_version: support for startup_time_ms
• zero_trust_dlp_custom_entry / _dlp_entry / _dlp_integration_entry / _dlp_predefined_entry: all gained support for upload_status
• zero_trust_gateway_policy: support for forensic_copy
• zero_trust_list: support for additional types (category, location, device)

The standout here is that cloudflare_ai_search can now be managed through Terraform. That's great news for teams who want to manage their AI Search setup as code. The four DLP resources gaining upload_status support is also practically useful, letting you track DLP upload status properly through Terraform.

Dive Deep

On the bug fix side:

• access_rules: added validation to prevent state drift (a workaround since Semantic Equality isn't an option)
• cloudflare_pages_project: addressed drift issues (two fix commits)
• cloudflare_worker: fixed to allow clean imports (two fix commits)
• list_items: added validation for IP List items to avoid inconsistent state
• zero_trust_access_application: removed all conditions from the sweeper
• spectrum_application: mapped missing fields during Spectrum resource import

As with previous releases, the guidance remains to hold off on migrating to v5 while stabilization continues, with a proper migration tool for popular resources still planned for March 2026.

Wrap-up

• Terraform provider v5.15.0 was released
• New support for ai_search endpoints means you can now manage AI Search via Terraform
• Four DLP resources gained upload_status support, and Gateway Policy gained forensic_copy
• Drift and import issues were fixed for pages_project and cloudflare_worker
• Migrating to v5 is still recommended to wait on, with a proper migration tool planned for March 2026
