Learn how to tightly control traffic flow to, from and between microservices with Styra Declarative Authorization Service (DAS) & Kong Mesh. When it comes to the digital transformation journey, teams are often faced with distributed software architectures in order to accelerate innovation and reduce costs. With Styra Declarative Authorization Service (DAS) now integrated with Kong Mesh, teams have the collaboration tools and visibility required to manage service mesh traffic via Open Policy Agent (OPA) at a global scale.

Upbound Crossplane with Styra Declarative Authorization Service (DAS) allows developers to elegantly provision infrastructure while preventing unsecure configuration. Crossplane applied to Kubernetes with Open Policy Agent (OPA) and Styra DAS can efficiently and effectively apply policy for centralized code and enforcement.

From the Open Policy Agent Summit at KubeCon, Michael Sorens from Chef discusses how OPA provides granular authorization within applications:

From the Open Policy Agent Summit at KubeCon, Jeremy Krach and Will Fu discuss how OPA policies are authored, distributed, and utilized at Pinterest (service mesh, kafka, internal tools). They also cover lessons learned in the process.

From the Open Policy Agent Summit at KubeCon, Luke Massa from TripAdvisor discusses how he leveraged OPA’s API and unit test framework. The example shown is a system in which you write k8s admission policy alongside some mock changes to the cluster, some of which should be accepted and some of which should not be, and then run code that tells you whether your policy matches your expectation.

From the Open Policy Agent Summit at KubeCon, Chris Stivers and Nicholas Higgins from Atlassian walk through their journey building a global authorization platform with Open Policy Agent and the help of Fluentd, S3, CDN's, Amazon Kinesis, and many more.
