Open Policy Agent

Open Policy Agent (OPA) is a policy engine provided by the vendor, Styra. It aims to provide a unified toolset and framework for policy management across the cloud native stack. According to the vendor, OPA allows users to define and enforce policies in a declarative language, decoupling policy from the service's code. It is designed to be suitable for companies of all sizes, from small startups to large enterprises. OPA is commonly used by DevOps teams, security teams, compliance teams, cloud native application developers, and Kubernetes administrators to enforce fine-grained controls and policies, ensure compliance, and manage policy logic effectively.
