Hashicorp Sentinel
HashiCorp Sentinel is a policy as code framework that provides fine-grained, logic-based policy enforcement for HashiCorp's infrastructure as code (IaC) and other cloud-native technologies. It allows organizations to codify and enforce policies across their infrastructure provisioning and management workflows.
-
Policy as Code: Define policies using code-like syntax for versioning, testing, and management.
-
Integration: Seamlessly integrate with HashiCorp's suite of tools for policy enforcement.
-
Fine-Grained Enforcement: Enforce granular policies covering naming conventions, security, compliance, and more.
-
Dynamic Evaluation: Evaluate policies in real-time against infrastructure changes to prevent violations.
Before learning HashiCorp Sentinel, you should have these skills:
-

-
Programming: Proficiency in at least one programming language to grasp Sentinel's code-like syntax and logic.
-
Cloud Infrastructure Knowledge: Familiarity with cloud services and infrastructure provisioning concepts.
-
Policy Management: Understanding of policy enforcement and governance practices in cloud environments.
