### AI overview

This article surveys the 2026 Policy as Code ecosystem, comparing general-purpose Open Policy Agent and Rego with specialized approaches such as Kyverno, Cedar, and agent-oriented governance. It discusses the shift toward automated, machine-readable governance, the separation of policy from business logic, and the challenges of authoring and maintaining Rego as schemas evolve.

### AI overview

The article describes using Nirmata Control and its nctl CLI to evaluate Terraform plans against policy-as-code rules before deployment. It presents pre-apply CI checks for detecting infrastructure misconfigurations, including unrestricted ingress, missing S3 public-access blocking, wildcard IAM resources, and missing VPC deployment.

### Source excerpt

Run Terraform security scanning on the plan, not the live account. nctl checks 4 critical misconfigs in CI, with exceptions scoped to one resource.

### AI overview

Nirmata introduces Nirmata Runtime for Kyverno, which extends workload controls beyond admission-time configuration checks by enforcing selected runtime behaviors in the kernel. The article describes BPF-LSM and cgroup-scoped eBPF enforcement for process execution, file access, network egress, and application protocols, plus DNS observation and reporting.

### Source excerpt

Nirmata created Kyverno and donated it to the CNCF in 2020. Kyverno is now a graduated CNCF project and is widely used for enforcing and automating configuration security and best practices. However, admission control answers one question: does this spec look right? It cannot...

### AI overview

Nirmata's Remediator Agent is designed to automate remediation of Kyverno policy violations within an existing GitOps workflow. It traces violations to their Git sources, proposes deterministic or LLM-generated fixes, commits changes, opens pull requests for review, and relies on ArgoCD or Flux CD to sync approved changes back to Kubernetes.

### Source excerpt

Kyverno detects Kubernetes policy violations. Nirmata's Remediator Agent turns them into reviewed pull requests within your existing GitOps workflow.
