      The Kyverno CLI provides a command-line interface for applying and testing Kyverno policies against Kubernetes
      resources outside of a cluster. It can be used in CI/CD pipelines to validate resources before deployment, run
      policy tests, and interact with JMESPath expressions used in policy rules.
