Policy checker

This is a tool that can be used locally and in CI by tooling to determine if the repository is compliant with policy.

The version of policy is determined by:

• Kubernetes: reads the kustomization.yaml file and retrieves the commonLabels['mycompany.com/policy-version']
• Terraform: reads the variable default_value of mycompany.com/policy-version

If theres any .tf files it'll check terraform and check Kubernetes if theres a kustomization.yaml.

⚠️⚠️ This is not intended for general use or to be immediately reusable ⚠️⚠️

The location of the policy it retrieves is hardcoded to get from policy-as-versioned-code/policy. This was a very conscious limitation to scope this to the proof of concept of the policy-as-versioned-code GitHub org, to make this more reusable it needs to handle authenticating to retrieve the policy where it's in a private repo, be a significantly smaller image, cache the policy so it doesn't need to be retrieved on every execution and find a better story than docker to be able to execute locally for the sake of speed.

Usage

$ docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/apps ghcr.io/policy-as-versioned-code/policy-checker
