Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)
Role in IAAI Architecture
CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) is a vendor-neutral open source foundation under the Linux Foundation that stewards cloud native security infrastructure. CNCF projects span multiple IAAI pillars: Open Policy Agent (OPA) for Pillar A distributed policy-as-code decisions; SPIFFE and SPIRE for Pillar A workload identity attestation and SVID issuance; Istio and Linkerd service meshes for Pillar A/B identity-aware mTLS enforcement and traffic policy control.

Assertions
Open Policy Agent compiles authorization decisions into Weaviate query filters
Open Policy Agent can be used in a filtered-retrieval runbook where policy decisions are evaluated or compiled into constraints that an application maps onto Weaviate's native query filters before vector or hybrid search, helping enforce identity-aware retrieval boundaries.
Open Policy Agent compiles authorization decisions into Pinecone metadata filters
Open Policy Agent can be used in a filtered-retrieval runbook where policy decisions are evaluated or compiled into constraints that an application maps onto Pinecone's native metadata filters before search, helping enforce identity-aware retrieval boundaries.
