About:
kwctl is a command-line utility designed for the Kubewarden policy engine, enabling users to interact with Kubernetes admission policies. It allows for the discovery, testing, and auditing of policies written in various languages like Rego and Rust. The tool streamlines the policy lifecycle by providing capabilities to push and pull policies from OCI registries and verify their signatures.
Key Features:
  • Validate and test policies locally before deployment
  • Push and pull policies to/from OCI registries
  • Verify policy signatures for supply chain security
  • Analyze policy behavior against Kubernetes manifests
Use Cases:
  • Developing and unit testing custom Kubewarden policies
  • Auditing existing policies for security compliance
  • Distributing policies via standard container registries
Alternatives:
  • kubectl – Generic Kubernetes CLI, whereas kwctl is specialized for managing Kubewarden policies specifically.
