Nicholaos Mouzourakis, Staff Product Security Engineer at Gusto, shares practical advice for Kubernetes administrators implementing Open Policy Agent (OPA). He recommends starting with Rego fundamentals using resources like Styra Academy and the Rego Playground for testing policies with real-time feedback.

He emphasizes:

- Getting team buy-in by explaining security benefits, especially for those who will read or write policies
- Using observability tools to determine scale and latency requirements
- Choosing appropriate deployment patterns (sidecar, daemon set, or standalone deployment)
- Deciding between baking configurations into Docker images, using config maps, or pulling policies from services like S3 or Styra DAS
