Cloud-native infrastructure, in the age of AI, has never been more powerful or more complex. Today, platform engineering teams manage thousands of clusters, configurations, and compliance requirements across Kubernetes, Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), and multiple clouds. 

Enter Nirmata’s AI Platform Engineering Assistant, the first AI-powered solution that brings automation and intelligence to every stage of infrastructure governance. Built on Kyverno, the industry’s leading Policy-as-Code engine, Nirmata turns platform engineering teams into force multipliers without slowing developers down.

AI-Powered Governance, Security, and Compliance

Nirmata’s AI Platform Engineering Assistant combines Kyverno’s trusted policy engine with a suite of intelligent AI agents and assistants that automate policy authoring, detection, remediation, and continuous compliance. 

• Copilot provides a natural-language interface for platform engineers to describe desired outcomes, automatically generating policies and enforcement actions.
• NCTL AI (CLI Agent) – Implements natural language assistance in the command line (CLI) to generate policies and scans of resources and violations
  
• Policy Authoring Agent (PaC) converts natural-language intent into validated Kyverno policy-as-code, accelerating policy creation and reducing human error.
  
• Remediation Agent identifies and applies secure, compliant fixes across clusters and pipelines, minimizing manual intervention.

 

Think of it as your AI copilot for platform engineering. One that can understand natural language, automatically generate YAML policy, enforce guardrails across environments, and even fix policy misconfigurations and violations in real-time. The result? Faster, safer, and more scalable operations, without slowing down your developers.

 

 

 

However, if you are a platform engineering purist who loves the command line interface and wants to leverage the same expert AI guidance, then there is Nirmata’s NCTL AI that integrates directly into your CLI for natural language policy-as-code governance and automation.

 

Why AI-Driven Platform Engineering Matters Now

We’re witnessing a paradigm shift in platform engineering. The next generation of tools isn’t just about automation; it’s about intelligent assistance. Platform teams are increasingly embracing AI as an integrated part of their daily workflows to combat tool sprawl, reduce repetitive toil, and unify fragmented systems. With AI built directly into their core toolchains, engineers can offload the burden of manual policy creation, testing, and validation, allowing them to focus on high-impact engineering tasks. In this new AI-assisted world, governance and compliance become part of the fabric of infrastructure management, not a separate process to maintain.

Why does this matter now? Because the complexity of modern infrastructure has outpaced manual governance. Enterprises in regulated industries like finance, healthcare, and government need smarter ways to enforce compliance while maintaining agility. 

Nirmata’s AI Assistant solves this challenge by providing:

• Continuous enforcement across Kubernetes and IaC
• Automatic detection and remediation of violations
• Unified compliance across multi-cloud architectures
• AI-powered policy authoring and validation

Beyond automation, AI also unlocks actionable intelligence. With Nirmata’s AI Platform Engineering Assistant, platform engineers can query complex datasets, reports, and compliance analytics via natural language interactions. 

Instead of sifting through dashboards or writing custom scripts, engineers can simply ask:

• “What are the top 5 policy risks in my clusters” 
• “Which policies are causing the most violations this week” and get instant, context-aware answers. 

This intuitive AI layer transforms data into actionable insight, helping teams understand risk posture, optimize operations, and make informed decisions faster than ever befor

 

 

As the creators of Kyverno, Nirmata has become a cornerstone of cloud-native policy management, powering billions of downloads and thousands of enterprise deployments. With the AI Platform Engineering Assistant, Nirmata extends Kyverno beyond Kubernetes to create a truly intent-based governance layer, where teams describe outcomes like security or compliance, and AI ensures those outcomes are continuously met. It’s not just smarter Policy-as-Code, it’s the next generation of AI-powered governance.

Experience the Future of Platform Engineering

The future of platform engineering is intelligent, secure, and continuous. Experience it first-hand at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025 for live demonstrations, technical discussions, and a preview of the platform’s AI-powered governance capabilities. Nirmata will also participate in the inaugural KyvernoCon, highlighting the growth and innovation of the Kyverno open-source community.
