About this course
This course develops practical capability in Policy as Code. Its course-specific content covers Policy foundations, Rule construction, Pipeline integration, Guardrail lab, followed by an applied project focused on evaluate infrastructure policy before a change is deployed. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with Policy as Code or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and a foundational understanding of cloud security & governance. Prior experience with the named product helps with the practical exercises.
Evaluate infrastructure policy before a change is deployed
Deliver evaluate infrastructure policy before a change is deployed. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
