Attaching a Policy to Multiple Stacks

Overview

Spacelift allows you to efficiently attach a policy to multiple stacks or modules using automatic labeling. This feature lets you control which stacks or modules a policy applies to without needing to configure each one individually.

Steps to Automatically Attach a Policy

1. Use Auto-Attach Labels
   You can automatically attach a policy to specific stacks or modules by adding a label in the format autoattach:<label> to the policy. Then, assign that same <label> to any stack or module that should inherit the policy.

   Example:

   • Add autoattach:security-checks as a label on your policy.

   • Apply the security-checks label to any stack or module that should use this policy.

2. Use a Wildcard for Universal Attachment
   To attach a policy to all stacks and modules in your account, use a wildcard label:

   • Set autoattach:* on the policy to apply it universally across all stacks and modules.

   This method is ideal for policies that should apply broadly, like global security or compliance policies.
