  • My LFX Mentorship With Kyverno
    4 projects | dev.to | 20 Jun 2022
    My mentorship period was from 1st March 2022 to 31st May 2022. During this period I have to work with Kyverno policies where I have to write test cases for it using Kyverno CLI.More specifically I have to write test cases along with other required manifests for validate and mutate policies and check them using kyverno applyand kyverno test CLI commands.
  • Internship at Nirmata on Kyverno(CNCF sanboxed project)...
    3 projects | dev.to | 18 Oct 2021
    During internship, I had to work on feature enhancement and it was To extend the test command to support or handle mutate Policy and also To cover all sample policies. The same reaction I also had earlier after reading this project headline. Didn't understand anything. So, the recommendation to newbie contributors that the best way to understand any project is to read the documentation first and then install that project in your local machine and try to use it, play with it until and unless you get the feel about that project.
  • 53 Kyverno policies (including pod security standards)!
