Summary

Governance, Risk, and Compliance requirements are increasingly important for deployment processes, particularly as AI adoption expands, and Octopus Platform Hub supports this through Open Policy Agent policies written in Rego. The post demonstrates creating a policy that requires every applicable Octopus project to include an enabled, unskipped Self-Support process template, using scope rules to target a specific space and condition rules to verify the template’s source type and slug. After publishing the policy initially with a Warning violation action, teams can identify non-compliant deployments through audit-log entries without interrupting releases. Once affected projects have been updated, the policy can be republished in Block mode to fail deployments that lack the required template. The post also recommends using subscriptions for notifications and storing the policy in an organization-owned Git repository with Platform Hub version control.
