I just attended #KyvernoCon Virtual 2026.
Great insights on policy-driven Kubernetes, security, and governance.

Big thanks to @TechTalkingMom for organizing such a valuable event 🙌

Open source keeps getting stronger 💙

Automating Confidential Containers (CoCo) infrastructure with Kyverno

Kyverno (Issue #016) can enforce this at admission.

Reject CNPG Cluster resources that don't have a properly-sized PDB + zone anti-affinity. One policy, half the quorum-PDB mistakes prevented at deploy time.

Governance earning its keep on stateful workloads.

Announcing Kyverno release 1.18!

🚀 Kyverno 1.18 delivers stronger security controls, significant CLI enhancements, and improved policy engine reliability! #Kubernetes #CloudNative #DevOps

[Ilia Gusev @persikbl]

Workflow that earns its keep:

1. Scheduled Job runs kor all --output json per namespace
2. Findings to Slack, per-team
3. High-confidence categories (abandoned Secrets > 90 days, empty Services > 30) promoted to Kyverno CleanupPolicy

Inventory → governance → automation.

Part 3: ️Kyverno vs OPA Gatekeeper — Kubernetes Policy-as-Code Showdown https://t.co/jmcaF9KYRG

[Jim Bugwadia @JimBugwadia]

@dthn_io The built-in types are great for simpler policies at admission. You still need Kyverno (or OPA) for complex policies, API lookups, reporting, testing, and applying to existing resources. Kyverno can now auto-generate K8s policy types where possible. (I am a maintainer).

Kube GitOps Lab 02 is live: Kyverno admission control via ArgoCD on a single-node k3s cluster.

Covers sync waves, ignoreDifferences gotchas, 4 baseline ClusterPolicies, and the Audit -> Enforce lifecycle.

Full #Observability for #Kyverno With #ObservabilityasCode

The adoption of Kyverno solves the challenge of #PolicyasCode. However, a new question emerges for platform engineers: what happens when a slow policy rule adds latency? A slow admission webhook can degrade performance across the #Kubernetes cluster.

AI agents come in several different forms. Here is a simple classification we have been using internally. This can be useful for both builders and end users, who need to govern agents. How do you categorize agents?

[Ilia Gusev @persikbl]

Giving devs self-service infra without guardrails is like giving them root.

Here's how to prevent $10K RDS instances with one Kyverno policy.

[Ilia Gusev @persikbl]

Generate: when a dev creates a DatabaseClaim, Kyverno can auto-create a matching BackupPolicy resource.

No manual step. No Jira ticket. The policy ensures every database gets backups. Zero human intervention.

[Ilia Gusev @persikbl]

Self-service doesn't mean no rules. It means the rules are automated.

Kyverno validates. Crossplane provisions. Secrets flow to pods. Devs get databases in minutes. Platform team sleeps.

Looking forward to presenting today at KubeCon EU in Amsterdam, on how Kyverno policy as code enables automated compliance at scale!
