- What might this mean for OPA policy-as-code endeavors?
- How to continue OPA policy-as-code projects?
- Is there a Styra and OPA Gatekeeper alternative?
With the announcement of the core OPA team leaving Styra, the OPA maintainers and community are wondering:
Kyverno by Nirmata is the CNCF-backed, Kubernetes-native alternative to Open Policy Agent (OPA) with active development and enterprise support. Nirmata is an enterprise-grade, AI-ready policy-as-code governance platform for cloud security and compliance. The following are reasons as to how Kyverno by Nirmata can help Styra / OPA Gatekeeper users:
Migrating from Strya with OPA to Nirmata with Kyverno doesn’t need to be complex. Nirmata provides a clear and straightforward path forward for those needing to migrate their Rego policies over to the YAML policies leveraged by Kyverno. Nirmata is able to map the validated baseline OPA policies over to Kyverno. An AI-agent is leveraged; however, to map any custom OPA policies beyond the standard library.
We respect the investments you’ve made in OPA and the Styra community, and invite you to explore accessible, scalable alternative options that may feel easier to adopt.
