Google Cloud Terraform Policy Validation

Purpose: Google Cloud Terraform Policy Validation uses constraints as organizational security and governance guardrails for infrastructure-as-code.
CLI tool: The `gcloud beta terraform vet` command validates whether a Terraform plan complies with policies.
CI/CD enforcement: The tool is designed to enforce policy compliance in infrastructure CI/CD pipelines.
Validation behavior: It can detect policy violations, issue warnings, or halt deployments before production.
API data retrieval: Validation retrieves project data through Google Cloud APIs to accurately evaluate a plan.
Reusable constraints: The same constraints can be used with other tools supporting the framework.
Terraform compatibility: `gcloud beta terraform vet` accepts Terraform 0.12 or later plan JSON files.
Policy library: Using the tool requires a policy library and the Google Cloud CLI `terraform-tools` component.
Result codes: The command returns exit code 0 when no violations are found and exit code 2 when violations are found.
Integrations: Google Cloud IaC validation can be run through Google Cloud CLI or integrated with Cloud Build, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions.
Security requirements: Security Command Center IaC validation requires Premium or Enterprise activation at the organization level and the Security Posture Shift-Left Validator role.
Sensitive data handling: Sensitive fields in resource changes are removed when encountered by the IaC validation feature.
Supported policies: IaC validation supports organization policies, organization policy custom constraints excluding policies that include tags, and Security Health Analytics custom modules.
Unsupported assets: Unsupported asset types in a file are ignored while supported asset types are validated.
