About Open Policy Agent

Open Policy Agent (OPA) is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation graduated project that provides a unified policy framework for cloud-native environments. It enables organizations to define, deploy, and enforce policies consistently across their entire stack.

Key Features

• Declarative Policy Language: Express policies in Rego, a purpose-built language
• Context-Aware Decisions: Evaluate policies against any structured data (JSON, YAML)
• Policy as Code: Version control, test, and deploy policies like application code
• High Performance: Optimized engine for low-latency policy evaluation
• Extensive Integrations: Works with Kubernetes, Envoy, Terraform, and more
• Flexible Deployment: Run as library, sidecar, or external service

Common Integrations

OPA integrates seamlessly with Kubernetes for admission control, service meshes for API authorization, CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure validation, and cloud platforms for fine-grained access control.
