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
