We study positive kernels on X×X, where X is a set equipped with an action of a group, and taking values in the set of A-sesquilinear forms on a (not necessarily Hilbert) module over a C*-algebra A. These maps are assumed to be covariant with respect to the group action on X and a representation of the group in the set of invertible (A-linear) module maps. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for extremality of such kernels in certain convex subsets of positive covariant kernels. Our focus is mainly on a particular example of these kernels: a completely positive (CP) covariant map for which we obtain a covariant minimal dilation (or KSGNS construction). We determine the extreme points of the set of normalized covariant CP maps and, as a special case, study covariant quantum observables and instruments whose value space is a transitive space of a unimodular type-I group. As an example, we discuss the case of instruments that are covariant with respect to a square-integrable representation.
