Kubernetes Native Policy Management: Secure and Automate Clusters Without Learning New Languages.
Kyverno is a Kubernetes-native policy engine designed to manage admission control, configuration validation, and resource generation through standard YAML syntax. Unlike competitors like OPA/Gatekeeper that require the Rego language, Kyverno allows platform engineers to define policies as standard Kubernetes resources, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for DevSecOps teams. In the 2026 market landscape, Kyverno has solidified its position as the preferred engine for high-velocity platform teams who prioritize declarative configurations and seamless integration with GitOps workflows. Its architecture facilitates four primary functions: Validation (enforcing best practices), Mutation (automatically modifying resource requests), Generation (creating new resources like NetworkPolicies or Secret-mappings on the fly), and Verification (checking container image signatures via Sigstore/Cosign). As enterprises scale their AI workloads, Kyverno is increasingly utilized to enforce GPU resource quotas, validate model provenance, and automate the injection of sidecar containers for observability. As a CNCF graduated project, its ecosystem integration with tools like ArgoCD and Prometheus provides a robust, enterprise-grade governance layer that bridges the gap between security compliance and developer productivity.
Defines policies as standard K8s resources without requiring specialized languages like Rego.
