The problem

Kubernetes manifests can deploy successfully while still violating team policy. A quick local inspection catches common risks before a pull request reaches CI or a cluster admission controller.

Sample input

Manifest snippet

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: api
          image: example/api:latest

Expected output

Policy findings

Warn: image uses latest tag
Warn: missing resource requests and limits
Review: securityContext not set

How to do it

Paste the Kubernetes or Helm-rendered YAML.
Run the policy inspection.
Review warnings by severity.
Fix risky defaults in the manifest.
Re-run before opening the deployment PR.

Common mistakes

Checking Helm templates before rendering values.
Ignoring resource requests and limits.
Using latest image tags in production manifests.
Assuming a valid YAML file is policy-compliant.

FAQ

Is this a replacement for admission control?

No. It is a local pre-check that helps catch common issues before CI or cluster policy checks.

Can I inspect Helm output?

Yes. Render the Helm chart first, then inspect the generated YAML.

Is my manifest uploaded?

No. Policy inspection runs locally in your browser.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. This workflow runs locally in your browser unless you explicitly copy or share the result yourself.

This guide uses browser-local tooling. Avoid pasting production secrets unless you understand what the tool displays and shares.
