ValidatingAdmissionPolicies at Scale: Enterprise-Grade K8s Policy Framework in Three Steps

Many organizations struggle to implement effective policy enforcement at scale due to the challenges of managing ValidatingAdmissionPolicies in complex enterprise environments.

Are you struggling to implement effective policy enforcement at scale, so were we! Learn how we leveraged ValidatingAdmissionPolicies to create an enterprise-grade policy framework that scales. We'll cover the three-component architecture developed to address the complexities of developing, deploying and maintaining ValidatingAdmissionPolicies:

1. Policy Generation and Testing: How we use CUE and declarative code to create and maintain policies with comprehensive test coverage, enabling security teams to focus on business logic rather than CEL syntax

2. Enterprise-Integrated Exemption Management: Our approach to policy exceptions that integrates directly with Fleet Management systems, providing a unified interface for both application configuration and security requirements

3. Pre-Deployment Compliance Validation: How we validate existing Kubernetes resources prior to deploying the policies, enabling their safe deployment in brownfield environments

Our framework addresses enterprise realities: brownfield deployments, legacy applications, urgent business needs, and the balance between security and developer velocity.

Join us to see how our comprehensive policy framework creates the foundation necessary for effective Kubernetes policy implementation in enterprise environments. Learn how our three-tiered approach for policy generation, exemption management and policy auditing transforms ValidatingAdmissionPolicies from a isolated security controls into an integrated, business-aligned policy enforcement system that delivers measurable security benefits while respecting operational realities.
