OPA has demonstrated widespread adoption, an open governance process, feature maturity, and a strong commitment to community, sustainability, and inclusivity to graduate.

OPA is an open source, general-purpose policy engine that enables unified, context-aware policy enforcement across the entire stack.

"As the cloud native ecosystem grows, it's more important than ever for organizations to have access to policy enforcement tools built for modern cloud native deployments," said Chris Aniszczyk, CTO of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

According to a recent OPA user survey of more than 150 organizations, 91% indicated they use OPA in some stage of OPA adoption from QA to production.

"When we started OPA, we knew that policy and authorization were going to become more critical than ever, due to heterogeneous and complex app deployments," said Torin Sandall, OPA co-founder and VP of Open Source at Styra.

"Thanks to OPA's streamlined policy language, I can take policies that would otherwise require dozens of lines of code, and instead write them in just five or six lines."
