Fine-grained access control is hard to build. Cedar, a CNCF sandbox project, centralizes the complexity w/role-, relation-, and attribute-based models, a typed schema + editor hints, and analyzable policies.

Learn how we push the boundaries of #Kubernetes control plane access controls.

Google’s new report shows AI only works when your platform is strong. That’s why we built @crossplane.io and @upbound.io
: declarative APIs for apps, platforms, and infra. Agentic AI depends on this. If your platform isn’t ready, your AI won’t be either.
