I have a question regarding the policy evaluation engine in Meshery. I’m curious to know whether it will support user-supplied policies or exclusively utilize the predefined policies available on https://github.com/meshery/meshery/tree/master/server/meshmodel/policies as indicated in the current code.
Above slide shows that all Rego policies will be sourced from a directory, but another image below it suggests that user-supplied policies will be supported.
Additionally, I would appreciate any insights on the next steps for the development of the evaluation engine and any relevant references or resources I can explore.
@Piyush It will be supporting the user-defined policies which is in the roadmap.
Currently, you’re true that it is just using the pre-defined policies because it is 1st iteration and there is a long way to spread the support for customizability.
Here is the meshkit helper function, which you can look and maybe modify to help with your use-case. PRs are welcome😍
Here is the list of TODOs identified while the last review on OPA was in progress.
The need to provide the custom/dynamic query with custom/dynamic policy is what we’re aiming for as a part of some future iterations, before that we’re also looking to strengthen the library of our pre-defined policy.
