Styra DAS with OPA and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform
Accelerate secure, automated infrastructure deployments with fine-grained,
policy-as-code authorization built for the cloud-native tech stack.
Enterprise organizations are aggressively adopting cloud-native technologies in pursuit of greater business agility and efficiency. However, accelerating time-to-market with new microservices-based applications and the environments they run in shouldn’t come at the expense of security and compliance, which depend significantly on getting authorization right throughout the cloud-native stack.
Together, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform and Styra Declarative Authorization Service (DAS) with Open Policy Agent (OPA) are a best-in-class solution for automating infrastructure deployments with the right guardrails in place to ensure secure operation and regulatory compliance. This joint solution:
- Works with any Infrastructure-as-Code stack.
- Allows developers to pretest code before submitting it into a repository, thereby validating the code without moving it offsite.
- Provides the ability to check existing environments, or mitigate environments to align new or updated policies.
- Automatically generates playbooks to fix non-compliance, or even adjust code to maintain compliance.
- Provides a central management and workflow engine to develop and deploy the policies, and also takes steps based on the IaC alignment to the policies.
- Uses the Ansible Automation Platform role-based access control (RBAC) capabilities to easily assign the right tasks to the right roles.
