Empower DevOps Efforts and Ensure Compliance with Armory Policy Engine

Policy Engine for Spinnaker is a plugin that enables enterprises to enforce policies according to their specific needs.

Spinnaker Policy Enforcement is an effective strategy for managing cloud infrastructure and deployments. It helps to automate compliance with corporate policies, ensuring that all deployments are effortlessly in line with the organization’s policies. Users need the ability to define rules and manage automated enforcements. With the help of the Armory Policy Engine plugin, organizations can ensure that their deployments are secure and compliant with corporate policies, without sacrificing operational agility.

Spinnaker is a powerful open-source continuous delivery platform that can be used to reliably and securely manage the delivery of software applications. To ensure that Spinnaker is used securely, there are several steps organizations can take to help protect their infrastructure and data.

The first step is to make sure that only authorized personnel have access to the Spinnaker application. This can be done by implementing authentication and authorization measures such as setting up user accounts and assigning roles with appropriate permissions. Additionally, organizations should pay attention to the security of the underlying infrastructure that hosts Spinnaker, such as using strong passwords and securing the network.

Organizations should also consider using encryption to help protect data as it is stored or transmitted over the internet. This can be achieved through using encryption algorithms and secure protocols like Transport Layer Security (TLS).

Additionally, organizations should implement logging and monitoring measures to ensure that any suspicious activity is quickly detected. This can include regularly performing security scans, using third-party tools for automated vulnerability scanning, and tracking access and changes to the Spinnaker application.

Finally, organizations should take advantage of any available security updates or patches for their version of Spinnaker. These updates can help address any newly discovered vulnerabilities and provide additional protection for the application.

Armory was one of the early adopters of OPA and built our Policy Engine on the Open Policy Agent to ensure trust, transparency, and standardization.

Open Policy Agent (OPA) is open-source, general-purpose policy engine that enables unified and flexible authorization for cloud native environments. OPA decouples policy enforcement from the applications and services it secures, making it easier to deploy and manage policies across distributed systems.

With OPA, organizations can create a centralized authorization layer across their entire stack, as well as manage multiple policies from a single source. OPA simplifies the process of creating and managing authorization policies, allowing organizations to easily create rules that are enforced across their applications and services. This makes it easier for administrators to control user access and ensure compliance with business requirements.
