Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between N4K and Kyverno?
N4K is an enterprise distribution of Kyverno. It is fully compatible with Kyverno, but uses secure defaults, and optimized configuration settings, suitable for production deployments. For example, RBAC best practices and etcd offloading are enabled by default. The Nirmata distribution also provides 0-CVE images with optional FIPS support.
Why use a distribution?
Nirmata provides long term support by back-porting cirtical fixes to prior versions which may not be supported in the community.
Nirmata will also fast track critical fixes and features for enterprise customers by first releasing changes in its distribution, and then merging changes into the next open source release.
Since open source release timelines are decided in coordination with the community, Nirmata manages its own distribution to meet enterprise support SLAs and other customer committments.
Will I get locked-in?
No. N4K is fully compatible with Kyverno and designed to be a drop-in replacement. You can migrate back to Kyverno anytime, if you choose not to continue with the Nirmata distribution.
Can Nirmata support Kyverno OSS?
Nirmata can assist, but cannot gaurantee SLAs on the open source distribution.
