Apple hires the creators of Open Policy Agent

Open Policy Agent (OPA) is a general-purpose policy engine that became a CNCF Graduated project in 2021. Yesterday, the project announced that “the creators of Open Policy Agent (along with many team members from Styra) have joined Apple.”

Styra is the company where OPA originated, and Apple is an active user of this project. OPA serves as a key component of Apple’s authorisation infrastructure. After this transition, more OPA-related repositories owned by Styra — such as EOPA (the commercial distribution of OPA), OPA Control Plane, SDKs, and Rental linter for Rego — will be moved to the CNCF OPA GitHub organisation.
