Implementing Kubernetes Policy as Code with Kyverno - Platform Engineering Hands-On Lab Icon

Lab Overview

This hands-on lab teaches you to implement policy as code for Kubernetes using Kyverno, the cloud-native policy engine.

You'll learn to:

  • Install Kyverno using Helm with production configurations
  • Create validation policies to enforce best practices and security standards
  • Implement mutation policies to automatically add labels, annotations, and resource defaults
  • Configure policy enforcement modes and audit violations
  • Test policies against real workloads

Policy as code is essential for platform engineering teams to enforce security, compliance, and operational best practices across all Kubernetes workloads.

What You'll Learn
