Enterprise Readiness with Argus & HDP Champlain

Enterprise Readiness (REST APIs)

• Currently, Argus policies can only be managed through GUI
• Not a scalable model if there are large number of policies
• Champlain work to expose REST APIs for the policy manager
• Users can create/update/delete policies through these APIs
