Summary

HashiCorp has introduced policy sets for HashiCorp Terraform Enterprise, allowing organizations to create logical groups of policies to apply against different environments and components of their infrastructure. Policy sets can now be configured to source policies from version control systems (VCS), bringing immutability benefits to governance and policy management. This feature is part of the Tao of HashiCorp's guiding principles for responsible infrastructure management, which are also applied to Terraform configuration. With VCS integration, users can write policies directly in their repository, configure Terraform Enterprise to use them, and enforce them on a run. The feature provides a first-class policy as code experience and is now the recommended way to manage Sentinel policies in Terraform Enterprise. It is available in Terraform Cloud and will be released in an upcoming version of Terraform Enterprise.
