Vendor ecosystems
In this section, we will introduce some tools from the PaC ecosystem. Here, the main difference is that we will focus on paid tools, in some cases listing vendors that provide a free version and an enterprise version at a cost.
As you might know, Terraform, an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool, is part of HashiCorp, which also provides an enterprise paid version called Terraform Enterprise. It makes sense to list them, primarily in organizations that need assurances, such as Service-Level Agreements (SLAs), and dedicated support.
HashiCorp
As discussed in Chapter 8, Policy Engines, HashiCorp Sentinel provides a PaC framework for enterprise users. One of the great benefits of this is integrating with the HashiCorp ecosystem, especially Terraform, the de facto tool for IaC, and providing comprehensive policies to the Terraform code.
