Nirmata Policy Manager
Nirmata Policy Manager (NPM) for Kubernetes provides enterprise grade reporting and policy lifecycle management across Kubernetes clusters. It is built on Kyverno, a CNCF project created by Nirmata.
Kyverno is a Kubernetes native policy engine that allows defining and managing policies as native Kubernetes resources, without requiring a new language or complex tooling. Kyverno policies can be used for pod security, workload configuration security, automating default configurations, image verification, and a number of other use cases. Every aspect of DevSecOps can be influenced through the use of Policy as Code (PaC) solutions, from version and access controls down to automated testing and deployment. Kyverno ensures workload security, enables self-service security and eliminates configuration errors.
Kyverno allows familiar tools such as kubectl, git, and kustomize to manage policies. Kyverno policies can validate, mutate, and generate Kubernetes resources. More information about Kyverno is available here.
