Open Policy Agentopenpolicyagent.orgOpen Policy Agent (OPA) is a cloud-native policy engine that unifies policy enforcement across your stack—apps, proxies, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and API gateways—while enabling centralized policy governance for development, security, and auditing. It uses Rego, a fast domain-specific language, to evaluate policies against in-memory data for low-latency decisions and to decouple policy from application logic. OPA provides comprehensive audit trails, supports REST API/SDK integrations, and is a CNCF Graduated project designed to accelerate policy management and compliance at scale.
