Sentinel

Sentinel is an embedded policy-as-code framework integrated with various HashiCorp products. It enables fine-grained, logic-based policy decisions, and can be extended to use information from external sources. Terraform Cloud enables users to enforce policies during runs.

A policy consists of:

  • The policy controls defined as code
  • An enforcement level that changes how a policy affects the run lifecycle

This functionality is available in the Terraform Cloud Team & Governance tier, as well as Enterprise. Organization owners can enable a 30-day free trial in their settings under “Plan & Billing”.
