Policy: GCP > Compute Engine > Instance Template > CMDB

Configure whether to record and synchronize details for the GCP Compute Engine instance template into the CMDB.

The CMDB control is responsible for populating and updating all the attributes for that resource type in the Guardrails CMDB. All policies and controls in Guardrails are based around the resource, so usually the CMDB policy is set to "Enforce: Enabled".

If set to Skip then all changes to the CMDB are paused - no new resources will be discovered, no updates will be made and deleted resources will not be removed.

To cleanup resources and stop tracking changes, set this policy to "Enforce: Disabled".
