HashiCorp has released an update to its Azure provider for Terraform, which simplifies deployment and management by defining components as code. The new version 2.0 includes Sentinel policies as code to enforce security, regulatory compliance, and internal business policies. A preview of the Terraform Foundational Policies Library is also available, offering 50 initial policies based on Center for Internet Security Benchmarks for major cloud providers. These policies can be applied to Azure configurations using a video tutorial, combining with existing Sentinel rules and checked during every Terraform plan operation.
