Compliance as Code shouldn’t stop at a single operating system. With Compliance Engine, we’ve expanded support beyond the traditional RHEL family to include Windows systems, and we’re working toward Ubuntu/Debian as well. This talk will explore the challenges and lessons learned while bringing compliance data and enforcement to multiple platforms. We’ll discuss differences in compliance frameworks, strategies for testing and verification, and how to keep compliance data consistent and reusable across diverse environments.
Attendees will get a detailed look at how Compliance Engine enables cross-platform compliance in Puppet/OpenVox. We’ll show how Windows support has been implemented, outline what’s needed to bring Ubuntu/Debian into the mix, and share insights into testing strategies across heterogeneous infrastructures. By the end of the talk, participants will understand how to approach compliance in mixed OS environments and where the community can help shape the next steps.
Steven Pritchard is head of engineering at Sicura, where he is a contributor to various open source projects including SIMP and Vox Pupuli.
