Leveraging Kubernetes Open Policy Agent

One of the big challenges of going cloud-native and using containers is enforcing security and usage policies. This is an easy task to complete when the cloud infrastructure is relatively simple and has only a limited number of users. Once the cloud environment becomes complex or there are more end-users utilizing cloud resources, having clear governance is a must.

It enables compliance checks and more thorough management of policies without sacrificing agility or ease of use. Gatekeeper acts as the agent that validates CRD-based policies run by Open Policy Agent.
