Tip: See all of our documentation at regula.dev!
Regula is a tool that evaluates CloudFormation and Terraform infrastructure-as-code for potential AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud security and compliance violations prior to deployment.
Regula supports the following file types:
- CloudFormation JSON/YAML templates
- Terraform HCL code
- JSON-formatted Terraform plans
Regula includes a library of rules written in Rego, the policy language used by the Open Policy Agent (OPA) project. Regula works with your favorite CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, Circle CI, and AWS CodePipeline; we’ve included a GitHub Actions example so you can get started quickly. Where relevant, we’ve mapped Regula policies to the CIS AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Foundations Benchmarks so you can assess compliance posture. Regula is maintained by engineers at Fugue.
Regula is also available as a Docker image on DockerHub here.
More information is available at regula.dev.
