Cloud Native Policy Management

Hi there 👋 welcome to Kyverno!


kyverno

Kyverno (κυβερνώ, Greek for "govern") is a policy management solution for Kubernetes and other cloud native environments. Kyverno policies can validate, mutate, generate, and clean-up resources. Kyverno can also verify OCI container images for software supply chain security. Kyverno policies are declarative and do not require learning a new programming language.

GitHub is Kyverno's home and here you can find all the interesting things the Kyverno community are working on.

Projects

  • Kyverno (web, repo): a Kubernetes admission controller, scanner, and command-line for policy lifecycle management.

  • Policy Reporter (web, repo): in-cluster management of policy violations and reports with a graphical web-based front end.

  • Chainsaw (web, repo): A declarative end-to-end testing tool for Kubernetes operators.

  • Kyverno Envoy Plugin (web, repo): Authorization policies for Envoy based service meshes.

Other Repositories

  • website: The source for the Kyverno website at https://kyverno.io.
  • policies: The Kyverno policy library and test cases (with web frontend at https://kyverno.io/policies).
  • KDP: The Kyverno Design Proposal (KDP) repository, where new features are proposed and reviewed.
  • demos: Sample policies and resources for demos.
  • community: project governance, code of conduct, and other common information.

Community

We thrive on our community and would love for you to engage with us. Please join us in the #kyverno channel on the Kubernetes workspace or the CNCF workspace.
