kube-lint

A linter for Kubernetes YAML that checks manifests against common configuration and security practices.

Why it exists.

It catches invalid or risky Kubernetes configuration before deployment.

Where it shines.

Kubernetes repositories with declarative manifests and pull-request checks.

Where not to use it.

Do not use linting as a substitute for cluster policy or runtime validation.

What it is made of.

  • Manifest parser
  • Rules
  • Resource checks
  • CI integration

How it works.

  1. Manifests are loaded
  2. Rules inspect resource fields
  3. Findings are grouped by severity
  4. The change is reviewed before deployment
