Policies

A policy node is used to add a policy to your CloudFlow. A policy is a set of rules designed to verify compliance on a specific type of resource (for example, a virtual machine or a storage bucket). For example, you could have a CloudFlow that runs on a regular schedule to ensure all S3 buckets have the necessary lifecycle policy for cleaning up incomplete multipart uploads. For each bucket, the flow applies the policy to check that the S3 buckets match the rule, and takes action if not.

You must create your policies first before you can begin using them in your CloudFlows.

• Select which field you want to validate: Specifies the field whose data you want to validate using the policy.

• Select a policy to apply to the referenced field: Specifies the policy to be evaluated on each record of the referenced field.

• Edit policy: Allows you to edit the policy you selected above.

• Create new policy: Allows you to create a new policy.
