A flexible authorization service that enforces Kyverno policies for Envoy proxies and plain HTTP services. This plugin enables you to apply Kyverno's powerful policy engine to secure and control access to your APIs and services.

Overview

The Kyverno Envoy plugin provides authorization capabilities in two modes:

🔌 Envoy Integration

Integrates with Envoy's External Authorization filter (v1.7.0+) to make authorization decisions based on Kyverno policies. Perfect for service mesh architectures and API gateway deployments.

🌐 HTTP Authorization Server

Works as a standalone HTTP authorization server that can protect any HTTP service. Your application forwards authorization requests to the plugin, which evaluates them against Kyverno policies and returns allow/deny decisions.

WARNING: ⚠️ Kyverno-envoy-plugin is in development stage.
