I think of OPA and Rego like just some conditional system. You don't have to fail just for a policy returning false... it could be a matter of automatic approval with True and manual review for approval with False.

Great content. This was exactly what I was looking for. Got another sub.

Hi Ned! Thanks for the great content! I have one question:

- Why use OPA, when you could control the creation of infrastructure through a module library?

For example, a company or team could create a module library that restrictions the creation of infrastructure when a specific module is called - in this way, a request to create an instance of a certain size would be rejected during the plan / apply stage, because that size is not detailed in the condition field of the terraform variables within the module.

Another banger, thanks for sharing this!

Great presentation as always Ned! but why video quality is only 360p?

Hi Ned, looks like, this is just will stop/prevent deployment a bit earlier than Azure Policy, what are other benefits? I could see some use to stop or flag some massive changes, which you will not be able to stop with Azure Policy, but controlling resource changes or standards doesn't look so useful when you have Azure policies defined with your standards. Maybe, we need one more video with some other case scenarios. Thank you!

can you please make a video on setting up OPA in windows and if you can provide the slides that could a great help.

[serkan]

Please do more vedios on opa..PDE, PDP

Thanks for the video. I just dont like the handwritten font in your presentation. Can you please not use it in the future. Also the VS Code with black background looks kind of ugly. And you really didnt use OPA policies or anything….:(
