SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill audits Kubernetes manifests and Helm charts for resource limits, health probes, security contexts, and RBAC, reducing runtime issues in clusters.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Resource limits and QoS checks
  • Health probes (liveness/readiness/startup) configuration
  • Security context and RBAC reviews
  • Helm chart structure validation
  • Use Case: Review a deployment and ensure proper limits, probes, and non-root security settings.

Quick Start

Apply k8s-reviewer to manifests and charts to generate a prioritized action list.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review Kubernetes manifests for security and best practices?

Review Kubernetes manifests by auditing resource limits, health probes, security contexts, and RBAC configurations. k8s-reviewer automates this process, checking for proper QoS class assignment, liveness/readiness/startup probe configuration, non-root security constraints, and role-based access control scope across deployments.

What should I validate in a Helm chart before deploying to production?

Validate Helm chart structure, resource requests and limits, security contexts, RBAC policies, and health probe settings. k8s-reviewer inspects charts for production readiness by enforcing image policies, PodDisruptionBudget presence, and proper securityContext constraints to prevent runtime failures.

How do I ensure Kubernetes pods have proper health probes configured?

Health probes detect and recover from container failures. k8s-reviewer validates liveness, readiness, and startup probe configuration across pod specifications, ensuring they're properly tuned to prevent cascading failures and unnecessary pod restarts in production clusters.

Can I check RBAC and security policies across multiple Kubernetes deployments at once?

Yes. k8s-reviewer audits RBAC scope, security contexts, and image policies across multiple manifests and Helm charts simultaneously, generating a prioritized action list of misconfigurations and compliance gaps for batch remediation.

What resource limits should Kubernetes pods have, and how do I enforce them?

Pods require CPU and memory requests and limits to ensure QoS guarantees and cluster stability. k8s-reviewer validates resource specification against best practices, checking that limits are set appropriately and requests align with actual workload demands.

Why do security contexts matter in Kubernetes, and what should I check?

Security contexts restrict pod privileges, enforce non-root execution, and control capabilities. k8s-reviewer reviews securityContext settings, image pull policies, and runAsNonRoot constraints to prevent privilege escalation and unauthorized access in production environments.
