Rancher: Kubernetes Master Class: OPA Support in Rancher 2.4

The Open Policy Agent (OPA) Gatekeeper project is a policy enforcement mechanism to ensure that kubernetes clusters run only with the appropriate privileges and can solely access the appropriate resources.

Gatekeeper helps you ensure compliance with legal and organizational policies by providing ability to define custom policies using native Kubernetes CRDs, such as "constraint templates" and "constraints". You can leverage the project as a threat prevention mechanism by enabling controlling policies for images, ingress, pods, and namespaces.

In this Kubernetes Master Class, Rancher Principal Software Engineer Prachi Damle will discuss and demo the new OPA Gatekeeper support in Rancher 2.4.
