November Edition!
November has arrived and we are looking forward to the holiday season!
Thanks to all of the community members that stopped by the booth at Kubecon, it was a pleasure meeting you!
We are looking for input from the community to see how everyone is using OPA. Take 5 minutes to fill out this 7 question survey to help out the community!
Thanks to all of the contributors that participated in these releases, the OPA community wouldn't be here without you!
The policy-agent is essentially a CircleCI-flavored wrapper library around the Open Policy Agent (OPA), which will allow the users to write the policy documents in CircleCI terminology.
This experiment adds support for querying relations from Authzed / SpiceDB via GRPC to check resource level permissions as custom builtin commands for Open Policy Agent.
Should user Alice be allowed to read credit reports? Should a cloud instance be deployable without basic security configuration in place? Should service X be allowed to query the database? Policy defines the rules of our systems, but how do we ensure our policies are enforced consistently in increasingly distributed and diverse tech stacks? In this talk we'll explore the benefits of decoupling policy from our applications, deployment pipelines and platforms, and how Open Policy Agent (OPA) can help unify the way we work with policy across the stack.
Starts at 3:23:20 as part of the Kubehuddle Edinburgh event.
