Kubewarden
Kubewarden is a policy engine for Kubernetes. It helps with keeping your Kubernetes clusters secure and compliant.
Kubewarden policies can be written using regular programming languages or Domain Specific Languages (DSL) sugh as Rego.
Policies are compiled into WebAssembly modules that are then distributed using traditional container registries. (by kubewarden)

Is OPA Gatekeeper the best solution for writing policies for k8s clusters?
I'm one of the developers of kubewarden, a CNCF sandbox project that operates in the same space as OPA/Gatekeeper and Kyverno.

OPA Rego is ridiculously confusing - best way to learn it?
An alternative to OPA (and Rego) is Kubewarden (kubewarden.io), which can actually run Rego policies, but really allows policy writing in any language that compiles to wasm. This opens up your options a lot.

OPA Rego is ridiculously confusing - best way to learn it?
I struggled with understanding OPA too! I have not seen this mentioned, but one straightforward alternative is JSPolicy (https://www.jspolicy.com/), which allows you to write policies in Javascript or Typescript. It is really easy to understand and get started.

Checklist for Platform Engineers
You will likely want to implement certain restrictions, limits, quotas, or security policies for your Kubernetes clusters. This could help with auditing or monitoring tasks, or with standardizing a quota for certain resources. Tools like the Open Policy Agent (OPA), jsPolicy, or Kyverno can be used based on your needs. Many developers are more comfortable with YAML or JavaScript, so Kyverno or jsPolicy might be preferred.

7 Kubernetes Companies to Watch in 2022
In 2021 we also released two new open source projects: vcluster, a tool for creating and using virtual Kubernetes clusters, and jsPolicy, a tool for writing policies for Kubernetes clusters in JavaScript or TypeScript. vcluster especially gained a lot of traction and our CEO Lukas Gentele gave a talk about it at KubeCon Los Angeles.

Running containers as non-root in Kubernetes
Would you mind explaining why is it hard for admission controllers to check container definitions of the pod? I've never used OPA or Kyverno, but I want to start contributing to a competitor project, so I am really curious to find out. Thank you! :)
