Abstract

We propose a scalable, Kubernetes-native approach to enforce security, configuration, and regulatory policies in multi-tenant SaaS. Each policy is stored as a versioned Custom Resource (Policy CR) in a Git repo (“Policy-as-Data”), synchronized via a GitOps agent, validated on create/update through a mutating admission webhook, and reconciled continuously by a self-healing controller. This closed-loop design minimizes manual intervention, provides drift detection, and enables automated remediation across hundreds of namespaces with minimal overhead.
