Open Policy Agent Deep Dive

Dive deep into the world of Open Policy Agent (OPA) in this 33-minute conference talk by Anders Eknert from Styra. Explore how organizations are shifting from traditional documentation methods to "policy as code" for better control and visibility over their systems. Learn about OPA, an open-source general-purpose policy engine hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, and its domain-agnostic declarative language. Discover how to implement policy as code across microservices and Kubernetes, covering core language features such as search, composition, and querying of complex document-oriented data. Gain insights into applying best practices like unit testing, dry runs, and code review to policies, enabling more effective governance of system behavior.
