Name
End-to-End Kubernetes Policy With Fairwinds Insights and OPA
Description

Kubernetes is a powerful platform for deploying applications to the cloud. But all that power comes with a lot of risk - it's hard to configure applications in a way that's secure, efficient, and reliable. As the responsibility for configuration "shifts left" away from Ops teams and towards Development, it's necessary to put strong guardrails in place to prevent security breaches, cost overruns, and downtime. In this session, you'll learn how to build a custom Kubernetes policy using OPA and Rego. We'll then show how you can enforce this policy at every stage in the application lifecycle - in CI/CD, at deployment time, and as a continuous monitor in production.

You can expect to come away with:

  • A firm grasp of the necessity and complexities of policy enforcement
  • A basic understanding of the Rego language
  • The ability to enforce policies throughout the development process
