Policy library#

Ready-made policies you can apply as they are or adapt. For example, you could create a policy to ensure that a set of roles and features are installed on a node, or that certain environment variables are set. The policy checks are then run each time the node is scanned, with the results indicating whether the checks passed or failed. A node group can contain multiple policies that are applied to the same or a different set of nodes. For more information on how to import a policy into Guardian, see Import a Policy.
