About
Nirmata provides cloud-native policy and governance solutions, empowering platform engineering and security teams to automate compliance, reduce vulnerabilities, and manage security across Kubernetes, containers, and cloud environments. The company is the creator of Kyverno, a widely adopted open-source policy engine specifically designed for Kubernetes. Nirmata's Policy-as-Code platform enables organizations to enforce security, operations, and compliance policies, helping to prevent misconfigurations and ensure continuous compliance in real-time. This allows engineering teams to maintain clean and secure production environments. The Nirmata platform is designed to be open and easy to adopt, facilitating the deployment, operation, and optimization of Kubernetes workloads on any infrastructure. Nirmata's solutions are built to address the complexities of managing cloud-native applications at scale. The platform offers a single management and control plane across multiple Kubernetes clusters and cloud providers. It supports automated Kubernetes cluster installation, upgrades, and operations on any cloud and can discover existing Kubernetes clusters for complete visibility and management. Nirmata integrates with major public and private cloud providers, allowing for the composition of clusters from heterogeneous resources and full automation of container host management. The company emphasizes policy-based automation for deploying, operating, and optimizing containerized applications, providing intuitive interfaces to simplify complex operations. Nirmata's offerings include Nirmata Control Hub and Nirmata Enterprise Kyverno, which extend the capabilities of the open-source Kyverno by providing centralized visibility, collaboration workflows, offline scanning, auto-remediation, and comprehensive compliance reporting. The company serves a diverse range of enterprise customers, including prominent names like LinkedIn, Deutsche Telekom, and Wayfair, helping them to securely scale their Kubernetes operations.
