Atmos Validation Framework

Overview

Atmos provides a built-in validation framework that enforces policies and schema constraints on stack configurations before infrastructure is provisioned. Validation ensures clean, correct, and compliant configurations across teams and environments. Atmos supports three types of native validation:

1. JSON Schema -- Validates the structure and types of component configurations
2. Open Policy Agent (OPA) -- Enforces custom business rules using Rego policies
3. EditorConfig Checker -- Ensures consistent coding styles across files

Validation runs automatically before atmos terraform plan and atmos terraform apply, preventing misconfigured infrastructure from being provisioned. It can also run on-demand using the atmos validate component and atmos validate stacks commands.
