Weave Policy Engine is now Open Source

[weaveworks]

Weaveworks, the industry leader in Kubernetes and cloud-native operations, announced today that it is open-sourcing its Weave Policy Engine, the robust solution designed to automate and streamline security policy enforcement in Kubernetes environments.

What is Weave Policy Engine?

The Weave Policy Engine is a powerful policy-as-code engine based on Open Policy Agent (OPA). It plays a crucial role in enhancing Kubernetes applications' security, compliance, and best practices. Seamlessly integrating with GitOps workflows, particularly FluxCD, Weave Policy Engine empowers users to implement highly granular policies for Flux applications and tenants. This ensures robust isolation and compliance throughout their Kubernetes deployments.

Figure: Weave Policy Engine<blockquote>“Almost everyone we talk to wants a developer platform on Kubernetes. But people don’t want to run someone else’s platform - they want their own. To meet this need, we are building out a modular developer platform - Weave GitOps - that extends Flux and Kubernetes. Today we are announcing the next step in this strategy - the Weave Policy Engine. Customers can use this with any Kubernetes or GitOps tool, or buy one of our supported and curated products. If you look at automated Kubernetes operations, policy as code is a natural extension to GitOps. Guardrails, compliance and assurance can now be part of every deployment as it is anchored in the pipeline itself, provably lowering errors in production by 70% or more.” said Alexis Richardson, CEO and Co-Founder of Weaveworks.</blockquote><p></p>
