About Kyverno
Kyverno is a policy engine designed for Kubernetes. With Kyverno, policies are managed as Kubernetes resources and no new language is required to write policies. This allows using familiar tools such as kubectl, Git, and Kustomize to manage policies. Kyverno policies can validate, mutate, and generate Kubernetes resources plus ensure OCI image supply chain security. The Kyverno CLI can be used to test policies and validate resources as part of a CI/CD pipeline. Kyverno allows cluster administrators to manage environment specific configurations independently of workload configurations and enforce configuration best practices for their clusters. Kyverno can be used to scan existing workloads for best practices, or can be used to enforce best practices by blocking or mutating API requests. Block non-conformant resources using admission controls, or report policy violations.

kpt
kpt is a package-centric toolchain that enables a WYSIWYG configuration authoring, automation, and delivery experience, which simplifies managing Kubernetes platforms and KRM-driven infrastructure at scale by manipulating declarative configuration as data, separated from the code that transforms it. Most Kubernetes users either manage their resources using conventional imperative graphical user interfaces, command-line tools (kubectl), and automation (e.g., operators) that operate directly against Kubernetes APIs, or declarative configuration tools, such as Helm, Terraform, cdk8s, or one of the dozens of other tools. At a small scale, this is largely driven by preference and familiarity. As companies expand the number of Kubernetes development and production clusters they use, creating and enforcing consistent configurations and security policies across a growing environment becomes difficult.

Azure Kubernetes Fleet Manager
Easily handle multicluster scenarios for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters such as workload propagation, north-south load balancing (for traffic flowing into member clusters), and upgrade orchestration across multiple clusters. Fleet cluster enables centralized management of all your clusters at scale. The managed hub cluster takes care of the upgrades and Kubernetes cluster configuration for you. Kubernetes configuration propagation lets you use policies and overrides to disseminate objects across fleet member clusters. North-south load balancer orchestrates traffic flow across workloads deployed in multiple member clusters of the fleet. Group any combination of your Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters to simplify multi-cluster workflows like Kubernetes configuration propagation and multi-cluster networking. Fleet requires a hub Kubernetes cluster to store configurations for placement policy and multicluster networking.

KubeArmor
KubeArmor is a cloud-native runtime security enforcement engine designed for Kubernetes workloads, containers, and virtual machines. It leverages eBPF and Linux Security Modules (LSMs) like AppArmor and SELinux to preemptively harden workloads and prevent attacks without modifying pods or containers. KubeArmor enforces real-time policy-based controls on process behavior, file access, networking, and resource usage. It simplifies complex security settings by providing Kubernetes-native policy management and detailed policy violation logging. Installation is straightforward via Helm charts, and it integrates seamlessly with multiple cloud marketplaces. KubeArmor’s proactive inline mitigation approach improves security beyond traditional post-attack responses.

Datree
Block misconfigurations, not deployments. Automated policy enforcement for Infrastructure as Code. Enforce policies to prevent misconfigurations in Infrastructure as Code such as Kubernetes, Terraform, CloudFormation, and more. Achieve application stability with automatic tests of every code change for policy violations or misconfigurations that may cause service outages or degraded performance. Adopt cloud-native infrastructure with minimal risk by applying built-in policies, or create custom policies to meet specific requirements. Focus on building better applications, not on infrastructure, by enforcing built-in policies for Kubernetes, Terraform, CloudFormation, and other infrastructure orchestrators. Eliminate manual code reviews for infrastructure-as-code changes, with checks that run automatically on every pull request. Keep the current DevOps workflow, with policy enforcement that integrates seamlessly with existing source control systems and CI/CD pipelines.
