About:
Kube-linter is a static analysis tool that scans Kubernetes YAML manifests and Helm charts for security misconfigurations, best practice violations, and potential reliability issues. It uses a library of built-in and custom checks to enforce policies and prevent common errors before deployment, helping to improve cluster security and stability.
Key Features:
  • Scans Kubernetes YAML files and Helm charts for misconfigurations
  • Includes a comprehensive library of built-in lint checks
  • Supports custom checks using a simple templating language
  • Can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines for automated validation
  • Provides clear, actionable error messages and remediation guidance
Use Cases:
  • Pre-deployment security scanning of Kubernetes manifests in a CI pipeline
  • Enforcing internal best practices and compliance standards across development teams
Alternatives:
  • kube-score – Focuses more on resource optimization and reliability scores, while kube-linter has a stronger emphasis on security and custom policy checks.
  • checkov – A broader infrastructure-as-code security tool that supports Kubernetes among many other resources, whereas kube-linter is specialized for Kubernetes/Helm.
