ABOUT KYVERNO

In complex systems, policies drive autonomy and alignment across roles. Kubernetes policies establish a digital contract across developers and operations teams.

The Nirmata platform provides a unified Kubernetes management plane, and Kyverno started life as a module in the platform. Kyverno was moved into the Kubernetes control plane once custom resource definitions and admission control webhooks were supported by Kubernetes.

To make it easy to secure and manage any Kubernetes cluster, Nirmata open-sourced Kyverno under an Apache v2 license, and donated Kyverno to the CNCF in November of 2020. Nirmata continues to build the community and grow Kyverno by developing new features and capabilities.
