Pulumi Open Policy Agent (OPA) Integration

A bridge enabling Pulumi CrossGuard to run OPA rules.

Visit Website →

Overview

This integration allows teams to use Open Policy Agent (OPA) and its declarative policy language, Rego, to enforce policies on infrastructure managed by Pulumi. It acts as a bridge between Pulumi's CrossGuard framework and the OPA engine, enabling organizations to leverage their existing investment in Rego policies for cloud infrastructure governance. This helps catch policy violations during `pulumi preview`, shifting security and compliance left.

✨ Key Features

  • Use OPA's Rego language for policy authoring
  • Enforce policies for any cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes)
  • Block insecure configurations before deployment
  • Leverage existing OPA/Rego tooling and expertise
  • Integrates with Pulumi CLI as a policy pack

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Allows use of the industry-standard Rego language for policy
  • Unifies infrastructure policy with other OPA use cases (e.g., Kubernetes, microservices)
  • Declarative policy authoring

Unique Value: Leverage the power and ecosystem of Open Policy Agent and Rego to enforce declarative policies on any infrastructure provisioned by Pulumi.

🎯 Use Cases (4)

Enforcing naming conventions across all resources Preventing the creation of public S3 buckets Ensuring Kubernetes pods have specific security contexts Validating that all resources have required tags

✅ Best For

  • Using a single policy language (Rego) for both Kubernetes admission control and infrastructure provisioning.

💡 Check With Vendor

Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:

  • Teams without any knowledge of or interest in learning Rego
  • Policies that require complex, imperative logic better suited for TypeScript or Python

🏆 Alternatives

Conftest Styra Declarative Authorization Service Native Pulumi policy packs (TypeScript/Python)

Instead of learning a new policy-as-code paradigm in TypeScript/Python, teams already using OPA can apply their existing skills and policies directly to Pulumi.
