OPA PDP Phase 2

OPA PDP Phase 2

Support Dynamic Policy Updation

User shall be able to deploy policy via PAP at run time. As currently we are supporting only Native policy for OPA, the design proposal is to encode rego file content in base 64 format and provide in the policy field.

For e.g. consider a sample rego file having following contents

consistency.rego package cell.consistency default allow = false # Rule to check cell consistency check_cell_consistency {     input.cell != data.cell.consistency.allowedCellId } # Rule to allow if PCI is within range 1-3000 allow_if_pci_in_range {     input.PCI >= data.cellconsistency.minPCI     input.PCI <= data.cellconsistency.maxPCI } # Main rule to determine the final decision allow {     check_cell_consistency     allow_if_pci_in_range } ------------------------------ topology.rego package cell.consistency.topology import rego.v1 # Rule to check cell consistency check_cell_consistency if { input.cell != data.cellconsistency.allowedCellId }

data.json

{ "allowedCellId" : 445611193265040129, "minPCI": 1, "maxPCI": 3000 }

 

In the tosca template the rego contents will be encoded and added in policy field

OPA PDP after receiving the message on KAFKA will parse the message, extract policy, perform base64 decoding and deploys the policy to OPA. OPA PDP will send a PDP_STATUS message with the status of  policy deployment.

In the above case, OPA-PDP will create following directory structure and store policy and data files. The “.” mentioned in the policy will translate to subdirectories in OPA-PDP pod. This will also ensure each policy is referenced by the main rego file, this will avoid collision in case we have same library file used in multiple main rego files.


Directory structure

 

Policy Deployment - In Memory Mode

Policy Deployment - Bundle Mode

 

Option: 2 Packing both static Data and Policy in the same message.

Create a new Policy Type which includes data field also
