Open Policy Agent (OPA) was recently admitted to the CNCF. And, with Kubernetes 1.9, admission controllers have become easier to implement.
Jimmy Ray demonstrates how to use the Open Policy Agent with the ValidatingAdmissionWebhook resource to evaluate API events and enforce compliance directions. With OPA, Kubernetes operators can build dynamic admission controls to evaluate event metadata against dynamically defined policies. Example use cases include enforcing resource metadata, global or namespace specific, such as labeling, and preventing deployments from unauthorized image registries.
