Configure Kyverno verifyImages to enforce cosign keyless signature policy on Kubernetes pods

Verified steps

  1. Install Kyverno via the official Helm chart: `helm install kyverno kyverno/kyverno -n kyverno --create-namespace`
  2. Create a `ClusterPolicy` with `spec.rules[].verifyImages` containing an `image` glob pattern, `attestors` block with `count: 1`, and a `keyless` entry specifying `url: https://fulcio.sigstore.dev` and an `identities` list with `issuer` and `subject` fields
  3. Set the rule action to `Enforce` to block unsigned images at admission time (use `Audit` first to assess impact)
  4. Deploy a signed test image and confirm it is admitted; deploy an unsigned image and confirm it is blocked with a Kyverno policy violation event
  5. Review Kyverno admission controller logs and configure alerts for `PolicyViolation` events in your monitoring stack
