Can Kyverno mutate resources as well as validate them?

Yes, Kyverno can act as a mutating admission controller to automatically add, modify, or remove fields in Kubernetes resources upon creation.

What is the primary advantage of using Kyverno?

Kyverno allows you to manage Kubernetes policies using native YAML syntax, eliminating the need to learn specialized languages like Rego.

Why does this skill recommend starting in Audit mode?

Audit mode logs violations without blocking resource creation, which allows teams to identify and remediate existing issues before switching to strict enforcement.

How do I monitor policy violations with this skill?

You can use the 'kubectl get policyreport -A' command to view a comprehensive summary of passes, failures, and warnings across your entire cluster.

Deployment & DevOps

Installs Kyverno and manages Kubernetes admission control policies using audit and enforce modes.

About

Kyverno Basics equips Claude with the expertise to implement and manage Kubernetes admission control through the Kyverno policy engine. It provides standardized workflows for installing Kyverno via Helm, authoring YAML-based validation policies, and executing a safe rollout strategy by transitioning policies from Audit to Enforce mode. This skill is ideal for platform engineers and SREs who need to automate resource governance, ensure security compliance, and remediate cluster violations without learning complex new languages.

Detailed PolicyReport analysis for cross-namespace compliance tracking
Audit vs. Enforce mode management for risk-free policy deployment
Creation of YAML-based validation, mutation, and generation policies
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Enforcing security best practices like preventing privileged containers
Implementing a phased governance rollout to monitor violations before blocking traffic
Standardizing resource metadata through automated labeling and annotations
