About:
Popeye is a Kubernetes cluster linter that scans live clusters to detect misconfigurations, deprecated APIs, and potential issues. It provides a detailed report highlighting problems and offers remediation suggestions to improve cluster health and security. Its main value is proactive cluster hygiene and compliance checking.
Key Features:
  • Scans Kubernetes clusters for misconfigurations and deprecated APIs
  • Generates detailed reports with severity levels and remediation advice
  • Supports multiple output formats (JSON, YAML, HTML, JUnit)
  • Includes a sanitization mode to clean up unused resources
  • Provides a real-time dashboard for cluster monitoring
Use Cases:
  • Regular cluster health audits and compliance checks
  • Pre-deployment validation to catch configuration errors
  • Educational tool for understanding Kubernetes best practices
Alternatives:
  • kube-score – Static YAML analyzer, while Popeye scans live clusters
  • kubeval – Validates Kubernetes manifests offline, not live clusters
