Kyverno - Kubernetes Native Policy Management

Build Status Go Report Card License: Apache-2.0

logo

Kyverno is a no-code policy engine built for Kubernetes:

  • policies as Kubernetes resources (no additional language!)
  • validate, mutate, or generate any resource
  • match resources using label selectors and wildcards
  • validate and mutate using overlays (like Kustomize!)
  • generate and synchronize defaults across namespaces
  • block or report violations
  • test using kubectl

Quick Start

NOTE : Your Kubernetes cluster version must be above v1.14 which adds webook timeouts. To check the version, enter kubectl version.

Install Kyverno:

kubectl create -f https://github.com/nirmata/kyverno/raw/master/definitions/install.yaml

You can also install Kyverno using a Helm chart.

Add the policy below. It requires that all pods have a app.kubernetes.io/name label:

apiVersion: kyverno.io/v1
kind: ClusterPolicy
metadata:
  name: require-labels
spec:
  validationFailureAction: enforce
  rules:
  - name: check-for-labels
    match:
      resources:
        kinds:
        - Pod
    validate:
      message: "label `app.kubernetes.io/name` is required"
      pattern:
        metadata:
          labels:
            app.kubernetes.io/name: "?*"

Try creating a deployment without the required label:

kubectl create deployment nginx --image=nginx

You should see an error:

Error from server: admission webhook "nirmata.kyverno.resource.validating-webhook" denied the request:

resource Deployment/default/nginx was blocked due to the following policies

require-labels:
  autogen-check-for-labels: 'Validation error: label `app.kubernetes.io/name` is required;
    Validation rule autogen-check-for-labels failed at path /spec/template/metadata/labels/app.kubernetes.io/name/'

Create a pod with the required label. For example from this YAML:

kind: "Pod"
apiVersion: "v1"
metadata:
  name: nginx
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/name: nginx
spec:
  containers:
  - name: "nginx"
    image: "nginx:latest"

This pod is allowed. Clean up by deleting all cluster policies:

kubectl delete cpol --all

As a next step, browse the sample policies and learn about writing policies. You can test policies using the Kyverno cli. See docs for complete details.

Alternatives

Open Policy Agent

Open Policy Agent (OPA) is a general-purpose policy engine that can be used as a Kubernetes admission controller. It supports a large set of use cases. Policies are written using Rego a custom query language.

k-rail

k-rail provides several ready to use policies for security and multi-tenancy. The policies are written in Golang. Several of the Kyverno sample policies were inspired by k-rail policies.

Polaris

Polaris validates configurations for best practices. It includes several checks across health, networking, security, etc. Checks can be assigned a severity. A dashboard reports the overall score.

External configuration management tools

Tools like Kustomize can be used to manage variations in configurations outside of clusters. There are several advantages to this approach when used to produce variations of the same base configuration. However, such solutions cannot be used to validate or enforce configurations.
