This is so great to hear! Congratulations to the OPA team! I'm the Group Tech Lead for the Security Org at Yelp. I've found great utility from the OPA project. At the time of this writing, I've implemented authorization semantics using OPA across several different use cases: - Service mesh authorization (via Envoy ext_authz filter) - Linux authorization (via PAM module) - Kubernetes Authorization (via Authorization Webhook) In all these cases, OPA has been able to meet all security and operational requirements. My experience with the documentation, tooling, and support from the maintainers and the community has been really positive. Daniel Popescu

Re: SIG-Security Tech Lead nominations
Justin Cappos <jcappos@...>
+1 NB for Ash and Andreas. I've worked closely with them both on security assessments. They are technically sharp, organized, and diligent. Apologies to Aradhana, who I haven't worked with yet for not saying something nice here too, but I hope to collaborate in the future!

Sarah Allen
Ashutosh Narkar, Aradhana Chetal and Andres Vega have made significant contributions to SIG-Security already, and along with their background and experience, would make great Technical Leads for our SIG. Note that they would join (not replace) the current TLs, Brandon Lum and Justin Cappos. Sarah Allen SIG-Security Co-Chair

Hi everyone,
Amye is OOO today (I believe unexpectedly) and I’m not quite sure where we are with an agenda for the TOC call today. Does anyone have something they were prepared / planning to discuss? Cheers, Liz

Re: OPA to graduation
jkrach@...
We've also been using OPA in production for use cases such as:
1. microservice authorization policy 2. internal webapp authorization policies via Envoy filter 3. kafka authorization We also spoke at Kubecon 2019 about some of our use cases, you can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhgxFICWsA8 Gatekeeper / K8S admission is actually one of the main use cases we still haven't fully integrated (in the works though)!

[cncf-dex-maintainers] [Announcement] First Maintainers Circle: Thursday! You're Invited!
(Forwarding to the TOC + ContribStrat mailing lists as well.) Join us next week for the first edition of the Maintainers Circle! Details below from Paris. :) -- Stephen ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Paris <paris.pittman@...> Date: Fri, Dec 11, 2020 at 11:38 AM Subject: [cncf-dex-maintainers] [Announcement] First Maintainers Circle: Thursday! You're Invited! To: <maintainers@...> Please forward this to other maintainers and folks making key decisions for the project; not solely the TOC voting members(reviewers, approvers, committee members, et al.). 💫 SIG Contributor Strategy welcomes you to the first edition of the Maintainers Circle.💫 This Thursday, December 17th. In this first session, we will talk about burnout and time management. Full details and future sessions in the works in our repo. A tl;dr: Dorothy Howard, FOSS Researcher and Wikipedia Maintainer with the University of California, San Diego, and Aaron Crickenberger, Emeritus Steering Committee member and SIG Testing Chair for the Kubernetes project will be joining us to share their experiences and research. These interactive learning sessions will have ample opportunities to talk to your peers from across projects in small groups and hear from speakers that are academics, researchers, growth consultants, and other maintainers on topics that aren’t widely discussed. You'll be able to introduce yourself and the role you play. To RSVP: Join #maintainers-circle on CNCF Slack (https://slack.cncf.io/) and emoji react to the post (that’s it!) To add this to your calendar: Grab the sig-contributor-strategy meetings on the CNCF Calendar: https://www.cncf.io/calendar/ They will be re-labeled with the title of Maintainer Circle shortly. Wish this was during another day/time that is better for you? Let us know with the time range options: https://doodle.com/poll/z5gg4p6qyxedgf2c. We will make a schedule for 2021 to include times to better accommodate participants.

I think Gatekeeper is interesting, but it's a sub-project of Open Policy Agent, not the whole thing. Anecdotally I mainly talk to a lot more folks using OPA outside Kubernetes than those just using it for Kubernetes-related use cases. Download stats are imperfect, but do bring some data points. At least direct from GitHub, Conftest (https://github.com/open-policy-agent/conftest/, another sub-project) gets a lot more direct downloads than OPA. That's intentional (at least to me, as the creator and one of the maintainers!) as it's intended for local individual usage. It's developers downloading it to their desktops, from homebrew or direct from GitHub. The latest Conftest release has seen ~7000 downloads across platforms (not including the container image) and was shipped <1 month ago (14th November). The Docker Hub published images tell the other part of the story 10M+ https://hub.docker.com/r/openpolicyagent/opa/ 1M+ https://hub.docker.com/r/openpolicyagent/gatekeeper 100k+ https://hub.docker.com/r/openpolicyagent/conftest (formerly https://hub.docker.com/r/instrumenta/conftest) Gatekeeper here outstrips Conftest, given it's server vs local use case. OPA itself is more popular still, because while Gatekeeper is only for Kubernetes, OPA itself can be used with Kubernetes, but it's also used for other generic policy use cases in the broader cloud native ecosystem. GitHub Stars (pah!) are interesting in microcosm here as well: Conftest - 1.5k Gatekeeper - 1.4k OPA - 4.3k But that's also just direct usage. OPA itself I'd argue is also partly something others build on top of as a library. Others will have other private and public examples, but for instance https://forsetisecurity.org/docs/latest/configure/real-time-enforcer/opa-engine.html or https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/radosgw/opa/. What ties all of those OPA-powered tools together is the Rego policy language and I think that's an important aspect here with regards to graduation. Another datapoint was there was enough Rego code on GitHub for them to add support for code search and highlighting last year https://github.com/github/linguist/pull/4371#issuecomment-533053406. The amount of public Rego code has continued to grow as well https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&type=Code&ref=searchresults&q=extension%3Arego+package, from around 200 results a over a year ago to more than 7000 now. Note as well most of the Rego written, by its nature, is going to be private. Hopefully that's useful context about the project and ecosystem. There are likely some good user stories as well that others can share to compliment my data deluge. The Gatekeeper folks can probably comment on Gatekeeper specifically too, but Open Policy Agent is a bigger project with a broader impact on the wider cloud native community I feel.

Re: OPA to graduation
I can't speak for everyone, but we are, and have been for the last 2+ years, been making great use of OPA in production across our entire fleet of Kubernetes clusters and several other ecosystem components. While I do agree that some folks associate OPA with Gatekeeper, OPA is much more ubiquitous. The admission controller model with OPA is very popular, but other example of how we use it are: We run 100's of OPA instances as both containers and as embedded libraries.

Re: OPA to graduation
Liz Rice
I really like OPA, and the project is doing tons of things really well, but I am struggling to add a +1 on the voting thread for it. When we move something to graduation, the TOC is sending a strong message that we think it's ready for end users to run in production - but to me it's not exactly clear what we're recommending. Anecdotally it seems to me that for a lot of folks in our community, OPA is synonymous with Gatekeeper. And that's a really useful component, and I don't want to do a disservice to the great work being done on it, but I don't think it's necessarily true that webhook + Gatekeeper is a robust, scalable solution that end users can assume they can deploy today with little-to-no risk.
I am very open to hearing why my concern is misplaced - for example am I missing messaging about other situations where OPA is being widely used, or how Gatekeeper is positioned?
