ContributorDecoupling Authorization: Cerbos with Emre BaranEmre Baran (@emre) is the CEO and co-founder of Cerbos, the open-source authorization layer for implementing roles and permissions. Cerbos allows developers to decouple authorization logic from core code into its own centrally distributed component. Easier said than done, perhaps - but Cerbos is secure, intentionally simple to implement, and developer-focused.

The difference between authentication and authorization
Why Cerbos is language-agnostic
Authorization patterns in a single application versus a larger network

The InfoQ PodcastOpen Policy Agent (OPA) with the Project’s Co-CreatorsThe Open Policy Agent is used for policy decision-making across the stack. In the case of Kubernetes, it is often used as an admission controller to protect the API Server with dynamic rules that don’t require recompilation to introduce. Today on the InfoQ Podcast, Wes Reisz speaks with Tim Hinrichs and Torin Sandall (two of the Open Policy Agent Project creators). The three talk about the project, including things like architecture, origin, community, the policy language (Rego), and, of course, performance.

Business and PhilosophyOpen Policy Agent with Torin Sandall
Policies define which users and applications can access and modify resources in a computer system.
In a file system, a user might have permission to read or write to a file. In a cloud infrastructure deployment, a user might have the rights to deploy a new server. One microservice may or may not have the necessary permissions to talk to another microservice. All of these are use cases where a “policy” defines the behavior within a computer system.
Policies in a company can be managed in a range of ways: configuration files, dashboards, and...
