Session Description:
In this session, we will provide an in-depth overview of Kyverno, a Kubernetes-native policy engine and an incubating project of CNCF, designed to simplify the management and governance of application deployments through Policy as Code. We’ll begin by exploring how authorization works in Kubernetes to set the foundation for understanding Kyverno’s capabilities. The session will wrap up with a hands-on demonstration, where attendees will learn to write and apply policies in YAML to effectively govern their application deployments, followed by an interactive Q&A. Key Takeaways:
1. Understanding Policy as Code: Learn how Kyverno makes governance straightforward by using YAML-based policies.
2. Kubernetes Governance: Discover how Kyverno enforces security and compliance natively within Kubernetes environments.
3. Hands-on Demonstration: See Kyverno in action as we demonstrate policy enforcement during application deployments.
4. Real-World Applications: Understand how to leverage Kyverno for automating security, validation, and resource management in your Kubernetes clusters.
