The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life. How often do you verify your compliance? Once or twice a year? Have you considered reporting on compliance continually?
The usual suspects, Cody Valle (Head of community), Criag Comstock (Digger), and Nick Anderson (Doer of Things) see how CFEngine Enterprise can be used to implement and report on compliance, specifically the Ubuntu 20.04 Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG). Nick shows how tagging variables for inventory and Mission Portals compliance reports can be used to implement compliance reporting that is continually verified.
Ever wish that you could run Mission Portal at Home?
Some of the CFEngine team gathers in Oslo Norway to do the show live, together. Criag Comstock (Digger) demonstrates how to use cf-remote to access new ARM64 packages for CFEngine Enterprise (Hub and Clients) and experiments with CFEngine Build in Mission Portal.

How can I run my own bundles automatically, like autorun from the MPF (Masterfiles Policy Framework), but with different logic?
Cody Valle (Head of community), Criag Comstock (Digger), Ole Herman Elgesem (Product Manager) and Nick Anderson (Doer of Things) review the existing capabilities and limitations of autorun in the MPF. After reaching the limits offered by the stock framework they explore implementing a custom autorun, for example recursively finding policy files or only including policy files with associated enablement classes.
