The blog discusses the importance of balancing security and team collaboration in cloud-native environments like Amazon EKS and introduces Gatekeeper, an extension of Open Policy Agent (OPA), as a solution to manage and implement access control policies. Gatekeeper enhances collaboration by strengthening Kubernetes' RBAC, enabling Policy as Code for version-controlled and auditable policies, preventing misconfigurations, and automating guardrails for teams. It allows for role-based CRUD operations within specific namespaces, restricts access outside designated namespaces, and provides a shared EKS cluster for cross-business unit collaboration
By enforcing namespace-based access control with Gatekeeper, organizations can enable secure cross-BU collaboration while maintaining strong security policies and operational boundaries, fostering agile collaboration without compromising control or security. https://feedpress.me/link/23535/16856119/secure-team-collaboration-in-eks-with-gatekeeper
