Kivera Platform is a cloud proxy solution that inspects and enforces policy on cloud API traffic. It provides visibility and control over cloud configuration by sitting inline or transparently between users/applications and cloud provider APIs. The platform supports deployment across multiple environments including Kubernetes, containers, virtual machines, and on-premises infrastructure, using tools such as Docker, Helm, CloudFormation, Bicep, and Terraform. Kivera's policy engine covers every service and parameter across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, as well as several SaaS providers. Policies are written in Rego (Open Policy Agent) and can be managed as code via YAML or JSON through an API-first interface called Kivera Konfig. Key capabilities include: - Enforcement modes: allowlist, blocklist, and learning/monitor mode - Identity-aware policy enforcement, applying different controls based on workload identity and risk - A rule simulator for testing policies against historical traffic - An immutable audit log for traceability and compliance - Resource tagging for organizational metadata - Notifications and alerting via integrated log and notification platforms Kivera integrates with CI/CD pipelines through environment variables, proxy chaining, upstream cache-peer configuration, or transparent proxy mode, allowing it to inspect cloud-bound traffic while passing non-cloud traffic through.
