Get an introduction to the benefits of policy as code and see how HashiCorp's Sentinel works to provide compliance in Terraform, Vault, Consul, and Nomad's Enterprise versions.
Extending the ideas of infrastructure as code to compliance and security makes a lot of sense, says HashiCorp software engineer Chris Marchesi in his HashiConf 2019 talk titled: "Policy as Code: IT Governance With HashiCorp Sentinel."
This talk will introduce Sentinel, a policy as code frmework for HashiCorp Enterprise products, and walk through use cases in each of the 4 HashiCorp products.
You can find more examples in the Sentinel documentation:
