This month, we’ve made some updates to Fairwinds Insights that make it easier for you to manage policy and guardrails at scale across multiple clusters. Let’s explore these new capabilities and how they allow you to target certain resources with additional policy enforcement easily, giving you greater control over your Kubernetes infrastructure.

Policy Mappings

App Groups are collections of Kubernetes resources designed by users, matched on any Kubernetes metadata and defined across multiple clusters. Policy Mappings are user-defined collections of specific policies; they can apply to one or many App Groups. You can now easily create Policy Mappings in the Fairwinds Insights user interface. Once you’ve created them, you can use Policy Mappings to associate a set of policies with App Groups, so you can fine-tune Action Item reporting and block by resource and policy.
