Policy-as-Code Enforcement (Kyverno)

Security and governance are enforced automatically at the platform level using a policy-as-code approach. Kyverno is used to define and apply operational and security policies directly within the Kubernetes control plane, ensuring that every workload complies with predefined standards before it is allowed to run.

These policies cover areas such as resource constraints, security contexts, image provenance, networking rules, and operational best practices. By enforcing policies at deployment time, the platform prevents misconfigurations and insecure workloads from ever reaching live environments, rather than relying on post-deployment audits or manual reviews.

Policy-as-code ensures consistency across teams, services, and environments. As the platform scales, governance does not rely on individual discipline or tribal knowledge; it is enforced automatically and uniformly. Policies themselves are version-controlled, reviewed, and evolved alongside application and infrastructure code.

This approach dramatically reduces operational risk while enabling teams to move faster. Developers can focus on building functionality, confident that the platform enforces guardrails by default. Security becomes a built-in property of the system, not a bottleneck or afterthought.
