Consul Enterprise uses Sentinel to augment the built-in ACL system to provide
|
|
|
|
|
advanced policy enforcement. Sentinel policies can currently execute on KV
|
|
|
|
|
modify and service registration.

Sentinel policies extend the ACL system in Consul beyond static "read", "write",
|
|
|
|
|
and "deny" policies to support full conditional logic and integration with
|
|
|
|
|
external systems. [Learn more about Sentinel here.](https://docs.hashicorp.com/sentinel/concepts/).
