OPAL VS validkube

Open Policy Administration Layer (OPAL) is an OSS project created to aid with Policy Engine management, which keeps them updated in real-time with data and policy updates. Supporting both OPA and AWS’ Cedar, OPAL offers two important features:\

Another tool that can help you deploy a Policy as Code-based solution in 2024 is OPAL, the Open Policy Administration Layer. OPAL is an open-source project that provides a comprehensive policy-based service for applications. With one click, you can deploy a full architecture of a Git-based centralized policy store with decentralized policy engines running as a sidecar with your applications. OPAL also provides a unified architecture to sync all the data you need with the policy engines.

Inspired by Braden’s post, this blog explores the journey of Reddit's team, focusing on their strategic decisions, the challenges they encountered, and the innovative solutions they crafted. Alongside Reddit's in-house efforts, we also examine OPAL, an open-source solution that aligns with the functionality of Reddit’s system, presenting an alternative approach for organizations seeking sophisticated authorization management solutions in the field of Ad Tech.

We reviewed how Netlfix used OPA with a a replication pattern; and decided to create a similar yet more extensible and event-driven solution - and so OPAL (Open Policy Administration Layer) was born - creating a scalable, zero-trust way to manage policy engines and their policy/data at scale.

If you find this post helpful,please give OPAL a star on GitHub! Your support helps us make access control easier and motivates us to write more articles like this one.

We are considering connecting this provider to our open-source tool OPAL. Are you using OPAL? Do you think such integration would be beneficial?

One example of such an administration tool is OPAL, an open policy administration layer that works with OPA. OPAL tracks changes in external services and propagates the data to the OPA PDPs so the authorization requests can handle existing data and return faster results.

Try running your yaml through: https://validkube.com/

I would suggest to also check validkube from Komodor, which also incorporates other checks as well

The team at Komodor is working on a new open-source project (it's the second one after ValidKube), and I wanted to get a sense of the pain some of you may be experiencing with Helm.

Komodor, Founded 2020, 325 stars

ValidKube is a new open-source tool by komodor that combines several tools to make it easier to validate, clean, and secure Kubernetes YAML configuration files. ValidKube is a browser-based tool, which means it is immediately accessible to anyone willing to try it out without needing to install the individual tools. It has 4 tools which are available on Github. Just enter the YAML and let ValidKube Handle the rest.

I’d appreciate any feedback. Feel free to share your experience, and of course contribute to the project to add more capabilities and tools >>> https://github.com/komodorio/validkube

Validkube is an open-source site designed to help developer teams quickly validate, secure, and clean their Kubernetes YAML.

The idea behind Validkube is to fuse together the capabilities of three other popular open-source projects (kubeval, kubectl-neat and trivy) and present them in a single view, providing users with a way to ensure YAML code hygiene and security, in one place, with just a few clicks of the button.
