Enforce Data Sovereignty With MongoDB Atlas Resource Policies

MongoDB Atlas Resource Policies are organization-level controls that allow companies to define and enforce infrastructure governance rules using policy as code, ensuring compliance, security, and cost management in multi-cloud environments. These policies provide a framework for restricting the use of specific cloud platforms and geographic regions for MongoDB Atlas cluster deployments, thereby addressing compliance with data residency requirements, optimizing costs, and ensuring operational consistency. The policies, written in the open-source Cedar policy language, automatically enforce compliance and security measures, preventing noncompliant configurations before they can be created and providing an audit trail for accountability. They empower development teams to operate within predefined guardrails while maintaining velocity, and allow security teams to ensure infrastructure governance without manual intervention or documentation reliance. MongoDB Atlas Resource Policies can be implemented through various tools, including the MongoDB Atlas UI, the Atlas Administration API, and Terraform, at no additional cost to users.
