This repository contains a library of policies that can be used within Terraform Cloud to accelerate your adoption of policy as code. To learn more about the Sentinel language and framework, please review the Sentinel documentation.
Before you start adopting some of the policies within this library, it is recommended that you do the following:
Install the Sentinel CLI. The CLI is an excellent tool for familiarizing yourself with the internals of Sentinel and allows you to apply and test policies outside of the Terraform platform. You can find more information related to the Sentinel CLI in the Enforce Policy with Sentinel learning track.
Enable the Governance and Policy Plan in Terraform Cloud.
Have access to a supported version control system (VCS) provider.
NOTE: The Governance and Policy Plan is a paid plan in Terraform Cloud. You can learn more about changing your payment plan by reviewing the Changing Your Payment Plan sections in the Terraform Cloud documentation.
The file and directory structure within this repository has been designed to have a descriptive ROOT directory that contains all policies that are related to a given standard. As an example, all policies for the Center for Internet Security Benchmarks are all located within the cis directory. Policies are then broken down by cloud service provider (i.e. AWS, Azure and GCP) and then categorized by cloud service (i.e. Compute, Databases, Networking etc.)
.└──ROOT└──CLOUD└──CATEGORY└──POLICY└── ...
All CATEGORY related directories contain a single README.md that details all information that is required to assess and enforce a policy in Terraform Cloud. This information includes:
Policy name
Description of the controls that are evaluated
The Policy Set configuration that needs to be added to the sentinel.hcl file.
Note: You can find a full list of all available policies in the Policy Guides section.
Before you can use any of the policies within this library, you will need to configure Terraform Cloud. The following sections detail the high-level steps required to deploy a policy from the foundational policies library. The Enforce Policy with Sentinel learning track covers the end-to-end process in greater detail. If this is the first time you are setting up a Sentinel policy, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with this track prior to continuing further.
Version Control System (VCS)
Terraform Cloud provides first-class support for VCS integration. This allows VCS repositories to contain all of the policies and configuration needed to manage Sentinel policy at scale. Integrating with VCS is as simple as:
Now that the Policy Set is configured, it is time to enforce this configuration on a Terraform Cloud workspace. This is achieved by:
Browsing to your Terraform Cloud organization settings
Browse to Policy Sets settings
Connect a new Policy Set
Configure the Policy Settings (i.e. name, source, path, branch & workspace scope) and apply the settings
To test the configuration, navigate to the target workspace and queue a new plan. The policy check phase should now appear in the run details, and see the newly created policy will execute and return the state of the policy evaluation (i.e. Pass or Fail).
