New AWS policy library simplifies Terraform governance

HashiCorp and AWS have co-developed a Sentinel policy library to simplify policy as code adoption in Terraform workflows. This solution addresses governance control challenges:

• Reduces complexity and overhead of custom policy development
• Includes pre-built policies for security, compliance, and efficiency
• Aligns with CIS AWS Foundation Benchmarks across services like EC2, KMS, CloudTrail, S3
• Allows customization for specific needs

The library streamlines policy implementation: select policies from the Terraform registry, add to a git repository, and connect to HCP Terraform via policy sets.
