implementing-policy-as-code-with-open-policy-agent
Implements policy-as-code enforcement with Open Policy Agent (OPA) and Gatekeeper for Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines, covering writing Rego policies, deploying OPA Gatekeeper as a Kubernetes admission controller, testing policies in development, and integrating policy evaluation into deployment pipelines. Use when writing Rego policies, deploying Gatekeeper admission control, or gating CI/CD pipelines with policy-as-code checks.

# Implementing Policy as Code with Open Policy Agent
## When to Use
- When enforcing organizational security policies across Kubernetes clusters programmatically
- When requiring admission control that blocks non-compliant resources from being created
- When implementing policy governance that can be version-controlled, tested, and audited
- When standardizing security rules across multiple clusters and environments
- When needing a flexible policy engine that extends beyond Kubernetes to APIs and CI/CD
**Do not use** for vulnerability scanning (use Trivy/Checkov), for runtime threat detection (use Falco), or for network policy enforcement (use Kubernetes NetworkPolicy or Calico).
## Prerequisites
