Show notes
Three beats:
- Forum — late 2016, The Open Group; OPAF defines what the OPA architecture requires.
- Standard of standards — O-PAS names existing standards; third-party tested, certified, and registered; no self-certifying.
- Proof (~60 sec) — Lighthouse / ACT / commercial OPA deployments; UAO ARC white paper summary.
O-PAS scope: security, network, system management, data/control language models, hardware, app portability, orchestration, virtualization. Evergreen — evolves with technology.
The companion covers the full conformance process, the O-PAS parts map, and a UAO field-proof sidebar with links.
