Kubewarden is a Kubernetes Policy Engine.
It aims to be the Universal Policy Engine for Kubernetes.

- You can reuse policies from other policy engines without having to rewrite them.
- You can write your own policies in any programming language
that generates WebAssembly binaries,
reusing your language tooling and libraries.
- You can run policies both outside the cluster and as part of your CI/CD processes.

## New to Kubewarden?

If new to the Kubewarden project start with the [Quick start guide](./quick-start.md)
and the [architecture](./explanations/architecture.md) page.
Then it depends where your interests take you.
For policy developers there are language specific sections in the tutorials.
For integrators and administrators there is a 'howtos' section.
The explanations section contains useful background material.
There is also a [glossary](./glossary.md).

## What is WebAssembly?

Wasm modules are portable, once built they can run on any kind of
processor architecture and operating system. For example, a policy developed and built on Apple
Silicon can run on AMD64/Intel64 Linux without conversion.
