Terraform

Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions.

The Turbot Guardrails Terraform provider supports:

• Defining your policy and security posture in code.
• Configuration of policies, resources and the environment.
• Querying the CMDB as data sources to combine with other providers.

For example, to set a policy:

resource "turbot_policy_setting" "s3_encryption_at_rest" {
  resource      = "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket"
  type          = "tmod:@turbot/aws-s3#/policy/types/bucketEncryptionAtRest"
  value         = "Enforce: AWS SSE or higher"
}

• Installation and Configuration: Turbot Guardrails Provider Configuration
