Nirmata, which created the open source Kyverno policy engine for Kubernetes clusters and last year donated it to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), is starting to establish itself as the company best positioned to oversee the commercialization of it. Nirmata recently began making parts of its larger namesake Kubernetes management platform for DevSecOps available as standalone products that enterprises can use with any cloud platform and any Kubernetes distribution. In addition, at the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America this week, Nirmata is announcing a certification program around Kyverno to get more IT and DevOps teams familiar with the policy engine and comfortable with how to use it in their organizations.
At the same time, Nirmata introduced Kyverno Enterprise, a lightweight commercial version of Kyverno that is tested and supported by Nirmata, with the company offering a curated set of policies, training and workshops.
The Kyverno Certification Program is designed to give IT and DevOps teams access to continuing education and development training through a self-paced, online curriculum on deploying and using Kyverno to develop policies in Kubernetes clusters.
