Question

What are the various levels of Sentinel enforcement?

Answer 1

Sentinel has three levels of enforcement: advisory, soft mandatory, and hard mandatory.

• Advisory – Logged in but permitted to pass. When a user initiates a plan that violates the policy, an advisory is issued.
• Soft Mandatory – Unless an override is specified, the policy must be followed. Overrides are only available to administrators.
• Hard Mandatory – The policy must be implemented regardless. Unless and until this policy is removed, it cannot be overridden. Terraform’s default enforcement level is this.
