Dear Forseti users,

We are writing to inform you that we plan to archive the Forseti-Security repository.

Over the past few years, GCP Security has introduced a host of new features and capabilities that have addressed many security challenges targeted by Forseti. With low community engagement and limited improvements in the last two years, we have decided to place Forseti Security in archive. Note that other repos such as Forseti Real-Time-Enforcer and Resource-Policy-Evaluation-Library have also been automatically archived in February 2023 following no activities.

We plan to complete the archiving process by the end of June 2023.

What does this mean for you?

  • The Forseti-Security repository will be read-only, meaning that users will not be able to modify or contribute additional code.

  • You will however be able to fork or clone the repository and continue to use it however bearing ownership of your instance.

  • There will be no additional support from Google on Forseti. We are moving the existing support teams to new projects.

We thank you for your active engagement over the last few years. If you have any questions, please contact Thierno Diallo (diallo...@google.com)

Thank you,

駒井祐人

Hi, Forseti

I am very sad by this news.

One of the reasons why Forseti didn't improve was that maintainers didn't respond to pull requests. Although pull requests were regularly submitted, they were automatically closed if mainteiner didn't react to them. This made the repository appear inactive and unexciting to those who visited it after a long absence.

In addition, after Forseti was developed, GCP introduced Security Command Center Premium, which has the same functionality. The high cost of SCC Premium suggests a business motive for GCP to direct users towards the SCC Premium.

I was proud to be operating Forseti. However, I am deeply disappointed that, due to this decision, Forseti will also end up in The Google Cemetery.

Thank you
