In today’s cloud-native environments, security and compliance can no longer rely on manual oversight—policy must be automated, portable, and enforceable across platforms. Implementing Open Policy Agent (IOA) equips learners with the skills to use OPA as a unified, policy-as-code engine for governance and security. Across three focused modules, you’ll discover OPA’s core capabilities, learn to write and test policies in Rego, and integrate OPA with Kubernetes for real-time admission control. Through case studies, AI-guided discussions, and hands-on labs, you’ll explore practical use cases such as enforcing compliance standards, governing resources, and applying policies consistently across clusters, APIs, and CI/CD pipelines.

Here, learners move beyond the basics to structure policies for real-world use, test their correctness, and validate their behavior. Through guided demos, they will practice creating and running tests and see how OPA integrates with Kubernetes via Gatekeeper to enforce governance rules. This module builds confidence in turning conceptual policies into enforceable controls.
