Introducing OPAL: Open Source for Event Driven Open Policy
Details
Abstract
OPAL (Open Policy Administration Layer) is an open-source project for implementing authorization and access-control.
OPAL builds on top of OPA (Open-Policy Agent) making it real time and event-driven.
OPAL responds to policy and data changes and pushes live updates to your agents, bringing open-policy up to the speed that live applications need.
As you push updates to your application's stores (e.g. Git, DBs, S3, SaaS services) OPAL will make sure your services are always in sync with the authorization data and policy they need (and only those they need).
OPAL is used by thousands of engineers, including developers from Tesla, Zapier, Cisco and Accenture.
The session will include:
- A short intro to authorization and its challenges
- A live demo of OPAL
- Tips and use cases for using OPAL and OPA
- An open floor for your questions
