As organizations scale their cloud infrastructure, managing resources efficiently becomes increasingly complex. This talk addresses the concept of policy-driven governance, focusing on how the Open Policy Agent (OPA) enforces critical policies during infrastructure provisioning to mitigate risks such as misconfigurations and security vulnerabilities. In this session, you will learn how OPA helps build secure, compliant, and resilient environments by: - Addressing the key challenges of scaling infrastructure and the role of governance. - Demonstrating how OPA enforces policies across the entire lifecycle, ensuring operational consistency. - Showing how to integrate OPA seamlessly into deployment workflows. Attendees can expect to gain insights into real-world applications of policy-driven governance using OPA. By the end of the session, they'll be equipped to implement OPA policies to ensure the management, security, and operational efficiency of their cloud infrastructure.
