Cloud-native Policy Enforcement
summary
Claims that policy becomes code with Rego policy files and a single engine (opa) that is logically centralized and physically distributed; concrete integrations include kubernetes admission control (gatekeeper), envoy/linkerd proxies for microservices, CI checks, terraform and kafka, and pagerduty-driven context data. Demo shows a playground pushing bundles via the bundle API to cluster-local opa instances (sidecar or daemon) and actually rejects pod creations missing a cost-center label or using untrusted images, proving enforcement works end to end.
