 ### Compliance
 
 Task definitions must comply with the [Enterprise Contract](https://enterprisecontract.dev/) policies.
-Currently, there are two policy configurations.
-- The [all-tasks](./policies/all-tasks.yaml) policy
-configuration applies to all Task definitions
-- The [build-tasks](./policies/build-tasks.yaml)
-policy configuration applies only to build Task definitions.

-A build Task, i.e., one that produces a

+- The [all-tasks](./policies/all-tasks.yaml) policy configuration applies to all Task definitions.
