Terraform OPA policies examples

A sample collection of OPA policies to test against Terraform run in Scalr.

Resources

Blog series for getting started with OPA for Terraform in Scalr: https://scalr.com/blog/opa-series-part-1-open-policy-agent-and-terraform/
Documentation for using OPA with Scalr: https://docs.scalr.com/en/latest/opa.html
OPA documentation: https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/

Policy Files

Each sample policy comprises 3 files.

*.rego: The OPA policy
*.mock.json: Input data for testing the policy with opa test
*.test.rego: Definition of the tests that opa test should run and expected results

Each folder also includes an example scalr-policy.hcl file. These files are used by Scalr to implement enforcement levels for each policy (hard-mandatory, soft-mandatory, advisory). See Enabling and Enforcing Policy for more details.

Policy Evaluation

You can evaluate a policy against your own terraform plans using the Terraform CLI and opa eval as follows.

$ terraform plan --out planfile
$ terraform show -json planfile > plan.json
$ opa eval --format pretty --data policy.rego -i plan.json data.terraform.deny

Policies

Summary descriptions of each policy. Detailed descriptions of each rule can be found as comments in the policy file. Many policies contain arrays of values that are checked against resources. The arrays and reason messages are of course customisable.

Policy	Description
aws/enforce_aws_iam_and_workspace.rego	Checks valid IAM roles for provider and workspace.
aws/enforce_aws_resource.rego	Check resource types against an allowed list.
aws/enforce_cidr.rego	Check security group CIDR blocks contain allowed CIDR's.
aws/enforce_ebs_del_on_term.rego	Check `delete_on_termination = true` is set for EBS volumes.
aws/enforce_iam_instance_profiles.rego	Check IAM instance profile is in allowed list.
aws/enforce_instance_subnets.rego	Check instances are using allowed subnets
aws/enforce_kms_key_names.rego	Check KMS keys (by name) against allowed list.
aws/enforce_lb_subnets.rego	Check Loadbalancers are using allowed subnets
aws/enforce_s3_buckets_encryption.rego	Check encryption is set for S3 buckets.
aws/enforce_s3_private.rego	Check S3 buckets are not public.
aws/enforce_sec_group.rego	Check security groups have been specified and are in allowed list.
aws/enforce_rds_subnets.rego	Check RDS clusters are using allowed subnets
cost/limit_monthly_cost.rego	Check estimated cost against an upper limit.
external_data/random_decision.rego	Example of using external data (HTTP GET) in a policy.
gcp/enforce_gcs_private.rego	Check GCS buckets are not public.
management/denied_provisioners.rego	Checks provisioner types against an allowed list.
management/enforce_ami_owners.rego	Checks AMI's being used belong to allowed list of AMI owners.
management/enforce_var_desc.rego	Checks variables have descriptions.
management/instance_types.rego	Checks instance types/sizes against allowed list. AWS, Azure and GCP.
management/resource_tags.rego	Checks required tags are configured for all clouds.
management/whitelist_ami.rego	Checks AMI against allowed list or configured from data source.
management/workspace_name.rego	Simple example of using `tfrun` data and validating a workspace name.
management/workspace_environment.rego	Checks workspace environment type and enforces cost limits based on environment.
management/workspace_destroy.rego	Checks workspace has an active state and denies its destroy, if active state is present.
management/workspace_tags.rego	Checks workspace is tagged with provider name.
modules/pin_module_version.rego	Enforces use of specific module versions.
modules/required_modules.rego	Checks resources are only be created via specific modules.
placement/cloud_location.rego	Checks resources are deployed to specific regions in each cloud.
providers/blacklist_provider.rego	Implements a provider blacklist.
user/user.rego	Restricts which users can trigger terraform runs. Works for CLI and VCS.

Report Bugs

Submit bug reports at https://github.com/Scalr/sample-tf-opa-policies/issues.

Be sure to include the following.

Link to the policy file.
The terraform plan data in JSON format you tested against.
The opa eval command used to reproduce the problem and it's output.

Feedback and Suggestions

Submit feed back and suggestions at https://github.com/Scalr/sample-tf-opa-policies/issues.

Be sure to include the following.

Detailed description of how you expect a policy to work.
Sample terraform plan data the policy should work against.

Pull Requests

Better still have a go at fixing bug or implementing new policy examples yourself and submit a Pull Request.

If you submit a new policy you must include the following files.

The *.rego file with the policy code.
*_mock.json containing test data mocks. You should include data for both valid and invalid evaluation of each rule in the policy.
*_test.rego defining the tests to be run and expected results when the PR checks are performed.

To submit a PR follow the standard process.

Fork the repo
Clone locally and create a new branch
Commit and push
Submit pull request

Before submitting the PR for the new policy or bug fix you should confirm it works using opa eval as shown above and validate the mock based tests work using opa test.

Example test

# opa test enforce_sec_group.* -v
data.terraform.test_valid: PASS (7.390418ms)
data.terraform.test_invalid: PASS (603.837µs)
data.terraform.test_missing: PASS (483.272µs)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PASS: 3/3
