Terraform Enterprise (Sentinel)

Overview

Integrating Bridgecrew with Terraform Enterprise embeds Bridgecrew's library of hundreds of out-of-the-box policies into every workspace run. Bridgecrew scans the workspace plans you choose and displays the results both in Terraform Enterprise's Run's page and in the Bridgecrew platform.

Integration Overview

The integration requires setup in Bridgecrew Cloud, In your VCS or a local directory and inTerraform Enterprise.

  • In Bridgecrew Cloud, initiate the Integration, then enter the Terraform token and get integration snippets.
  • In your VCS or a local directory, create a copy of the two files we provide to configure the sentinel policy set.
  • In Terraform Enterprise, create a new Sentinel Policy that relies on the configuration files.
