New #Regal release is out! v0.8.0 brings a bunch of new features and improvements to your favorite #Rego linter, including a #GitHub output format which will annotate PRs with linter violations. Also four new #linter rules to catch both issues as well as non-idiomatic coding style. Check it out!

New blog just dropped! On using a #linter as a tool for learning a new #programming language, and how I tried to apply some of those ideas while building #Regal, the new linter for #Rego.

Friends in #Norway! 🇳🇴 And I'm lucky to have many of those by now. June 29 I will be talking #OpenPolicyAgent and all things related at the local #OWASP meetup. Come join me, @webtonull and a whole bunch of other smart and fun people for what I'm sure will be a great event. Not many spots left, so make sure to RSVP right away.

It's hot outside, but you know what's even hotter? The #CloudNative meetup taking place at the Google office in #Stockholm this evening. I'll be talking about how to translate "real" policy, like the upcoming #EUCS framework into #PolicyAsCode using #OpenPolicyAgent and #Rego. Also, my buddy Abdel to present on ambient service mesh and #Istio. Good times!

What better to bring into the weekend than a new #OPA release? v0.53.0 is mainly a bugfix release, but a new "crypto.x509.parse_keypair" built-in function is also included, as well as retry functionality for the http.send function. Enjoy!

#Kubecon just learned that #OpenPolicyAgent and Rego now has JSON schema validation built-in. i can imagine a lot of use (or abuse) of this in the future.

I also love them showing how to use this to avoid silly typos, validate input data matches a schema before checking values in the data

#Kubecon time for an #OpenPolicyAgent deep dive

15:25 today at #KubeCon, I’ll talk about the upcoming #EUCS scheme for cloud service providers, and how #OpenPolicyAgent and other #CloudNative technologies can help solve #compliance and certification challenges across organizations. Join in, it’ll be fun!

So far it seems to be a spec for how to define and then use standard naming (and naturally tokens/certs) to identify and then of course authenticate workloads #KubeCon

Best of all, a quick Google shows that there are already people playing with #SPIFFE and #OpenPolicyAgent

This session is showing off integration with #CertManager

Breakfast at #Arlanda airport with @johanfylling. Next stop #Amsterdam and #KubeCon!

Plan for today is catching the #OPA talk at #CloudNative #Wasm day with @charlieegan3, then to meet up with collages and friend at the #OpenPolicyAgent meetup in the evening. Good times ahead! 🚀

@katexochen I’ll be there! Most often in the #Styra booth and the #OpenPolicyAgent kiosk. Come by and say hi 🙂

My talk on distributed #authorization using #OpenPolicyAgent, from #APIDays in Paris 🇫🇷 is now on YouTube! 😃

Awesome new addition to the #OPA ecosystem! A proxy in front of the #HashiCorp #Nomad API, which allows policy-powered "admission control", similar to that in #Kubernetes.

Today I got to talk #authorization in distributed systems, and how #OpenPolicyAgent helps solve the problem across large, complex organizations and environments, at #IdentityDay in #Oslo 🇳🇴

Unfortunately I wasn’t feeling well, so I couldn’t stay for the rest of the event, but despite a soar throat my talk seemed well-received 😊

Spent time today building out a new training series on #Kubernetes #Policy with #AdmissionController, #OpenPolicyAgent, and #Gatekeeper.

Eventful week last one! I turned 40, and #OPA turned v0.50.0! Lots of good stuff in this release, like new built-in functions for JSON schema verification, a new shorthand syntax for fetching remote bundles, performance improvements, and more. Check it out!

Hi @anderseknert, do you have a playlist or a kind of path/journey to follow to start with OPA ?

#OpenPolicyAgent #SecurityAsCode

Making it easier to run #OPA connected to a remote bundle server by simply pointing to the bundle (and without providing a config file):

opa run -s https://foo.com/my/bundle.tar.gz

Usability improvements, however small, never fails to make me happy.

#OpenSource #OpenPolicyAgent

Released yesterday, and I'm proud to have contributed to Styra Load! An enterprise distribution of #OpenPolicyAgent
with some seriously impressive features, like a 10x reduction in memory usage, 40% increase in CPU throughput, and more. If you're running OPA for data-heavy workloads, try it out! 😃
