Summary

With this new feature, users can now select Sentinel or OPA versions when provisioning in Terraform Cloud. Policies are rules that HashiCorp Terraform Cloud enforces at the Terraform run phase to help with security, compliance, and cost management, which can be defined in Terraform Cloud using Sentinel and Open Policy Agent policy as code frameworks. A new feature enables users to select specific Sentinel or OPA runtime versions for their policy sets to reduce version conflicts, upgrades, and bugs, making policy enforcement more stable and efficient. Previously, users were required to use the most recent version of Sentinel or OPA, but now they can choose from a list of previously supported releases, providing increased control over policy as code versioning in Terraform Cloud.
