MongoDB Atlas has introduced a new feature called resource policies to simplify security at scale. These policies allow organizations to enforce security and compliance standards across their entire Atlas environment, providing automated guardrails that control how resources can be configured. By using resource policies, organizations can balance the need for speed and agility with critical security and compliance requirements, reducing the risk of misconfigurations and ensuring consistent configurations across the organization. Resource policies are defined using the open-source Cedar policy language and can be created and managed programmatically through infrastructure-as-code tools or by integrating directly using the Atlas Admin API. This feature is currently available in public preview and will support management in the user interface by mid-2025.
