Organizations can now deploy and manage its applications with the help of Kubernetes as it is now the standard for container orchestration. Nevertheless, in large-scale environments, enforcing policy robustly, securing systems in conformance with the relevant security policies, and rendering the governance system (the root of control) accepting and dependable is a challenge. As a fine grained policy control framework in Kubernetes, Open Policy Agent (OPA) comes up.
