A Firewall Policy that Governs a Network and Leaves a Record

A global network firewall policy exists independently of any network; an association puts it in the path, and a policy with a hundred rules and none governs nobody while rendering as fully configured. enable_logging defaults to false on every rule, so a deny that fires leaves no evidence. Refuses a policy with no network, logs every rule unless told not to, and counts the disabled ones.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.

Same cloud, same category. These are what you would weigh against it without changing provider.

The same job on other clouds

Cloud Firewall on other providers. Useful when the cloud is still open, or when you are pricing a second one. How far a comparison like that can be trusted is covered in comparing clouds.
