Kubernetes Visibility Agent support matrix

reference australia Updated Sep 10, 2026 1 min read cnov-support-matrix.md

The Kubernetes Visibility Agent component is supported on several versions of Kubernetes and OpenShift and in various Kubernetes environments.

Note: To deploy KVA in the OKE (Oracle Kubernetes Engine) environment, you need to create a Kubernetes Cluster on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. For more information, see the Oracle documentation.

For the latest information, see the Kubernetes Visibility Agent (formerly CNO for Visibility) Support Matrix [KB1700730] article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.

FIPS-140 compliance

FIPS-140 (Federal Information Processing Standard 140) is a US government standard for cryptographic modules used in regulated industries. In regulated markets that require FIPS-140 compliant code, the Kubernetes Visibility Agent Informer images have the following FIPS-140 compliance status:

The main informer image is FIPS-140 compliant.
The daemonset image used for traffic discovery is FIPS-140 compliant.
The optional Syft scanner image used for container image scanning is not FIPS-140 compliant.

Windows nodes

When the createServerCi parameter is set to true, the Kubernetes Visibility Agent Informer creates a Windows Server [cmdb_ci_win_server] CI for each Windows Kubernetes node. To configure server CIs for all node types, see Configure server CI creation for Kubernetes nodes.

Kubernetes Visibility Agent (KVA) Performance Benchmark
Performance tests help you estimate the load, memory, and CPU on the Instance and Kubernetes cluster.
Discovering Kubevirt Virtual Machines
KubeVirt provides a unified development platform where developers can build, modify, and deploy applications in both Application Containers and Virtual Machines.
Running Kubernetes Visibility Agent (KVA) at Scale
When you run Kubernetes Visibility Agent (KVA) (formerly CNO for Visibility) on more than 100 clusters, configure your system properties to help prevent loss of data from the informers.

# Kubernetes Visibility Agent support matrix

The Kubernetes Visibility Agent component is supported on several versions of Kubernetes and OpenShift and in various Kubernetes environments.

**Note:** To deploy KVA in the OKE \(Oracle Kubernetes Engine\) environment, you need to create a Kubernetes Cluster on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. For more information, see the [Oracle](https://www.oracle.com/) documentation.

For the latest information, see the [Kubernetes Visibility Agent \(formerly CNO for Visibility\) Support Matrix \[KB1700730\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB1700730) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.

## FIPS-140 compliance

FIPS-140 \(Federal Information Processing Standard 140\) is a US government standard for cryptographic modules used in regulated industries. In regulated markets that require FIPS-140 compliant code, the Kubernetes Visibility Agent Informer images have the following FIPS-140 compliance status:

-   The main informer image is FIPS-140 compliant.
-   The daemonset image used for traffic discovery is FIPS-140 compliant.
-   The optional Syft scanner image used for container image scanning is not FIPS-140 compliant.

## Windows nodes

When the **createServerCi** parameter is set to `true`, the Kubernetes Visibility Agent Informer creates a Windows Server \[cmdb\_ci\_win\_server\] CI for each Windows Kubernetes node. To configure server CIs for all node types, see [Configure server CI creation for Kubernetes nodes](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/discovery/cnov-config-linux-server-ci.md).
