Unlike standalone tools like OPA/Gatekeeper or Kyverno, Orca's controller is managed entirely within the Orca platform, allowing security context (CVEs, misconfigurations, cluster exposure) to directly inform what gets blocked at admission time. It supports block and warn modes for gradual rollout, ships with 12 built-in control templates across five categories (access control, image security, pod security, governance, and app health), and feeds all enforcement events back into Orca's unified event stream for audit and compliance visibility. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
