Summary
HashiCorp released tfpolicy, an HCL-based policy-as-code framework for Terraform now in public beta within HCP Terraform, integrating governance directly into existing workflows without requiring separate tools like Sentinel or OPA. The framework enables pre- and post-deployment policy evaluation, resource-relationship checks, external context from data sources, and supply-chain controls for provider/module downloads, while an AI agent assists with policy generation and Sentinel-to-tfpolicy conversion.
