Open Policy Agent. (OPA) Intro & Deep Dive - Charlie Egan & Anders Eknert, Apple

This talk covers the Open Policy Agent (OPA) project, a versatile policy engine that addresses various policy-related challenges within Kubernetes, API authorization, CI/CD, and infrastructure permissions. The speakers, Charlie Egan and Anders Eknert from Apple, introduce OPA for newcomers and share updates on significant new features being integrated into OPA and the broader ecosystem. This session is particularly useful for those interested in implementing policy as code and understanding security in the context of cloud native technologies. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with the maintainers for further discussion after the presentation.
