The stakes for security, consistency, and control are higher than ever as building platforms takes center stage in cloud-native organizations. When a developer platform spans multiple clusters, clouds, and teams, policy enforcement and operational resilience become existential, not optional. Yet, ensuring compliance, stability, and self-service at scale remains one of the hardest challenges for platform teams.
In this session, we’ll dive into how Kyverno enables declarative governance and automation across environments without complex admission webhooks or YAML gymnastics when paired with k0rdent, a multi-cluster container platform built for distributed Kubernetes operations.
We’ll walk through real-world use cases where Kyverno and k0rdent combine to power secure developer self-service, enforce platform standards, support AI/ML workloads, and reduce operational toil. This is platform engineering done right, resilient by default, policy-driven by design, and open source at its core.
The session aims at inculcating a practical understanding of how to implement policy-as-code in a multi-cloud, multi-cluster Kubernetes environment using Kyverno, without relying on complex admission webhooks or custom scripts. The community will get a sneak-peek to the power of kyverno and k0rdent together and learn how to monitor, visualize, and operate secure multi-cluster environments applying centralized observability and policy enforcement across clouds and teams. Through real-world workflows, the session will show how Kyverno and k0rdent work together to enable secure developer self-service, enforce compliance, and reduce operational overhead for platform teams.
