Polaris

Validation of Kubernetes best practices and security

About Polaris

An open source policy engine for Kubernetes that validates and remediates resource configuration against best practices for security, reliability and efficiency, usable as a dashboard, webhook or CLI. It is free and open source, so teams can self-host it, inspect the code and adapt it to their own infrastructure without licence fees or vendor lock-in. Typical users run it alongside existing workflows to cut manual effort, improve visibility and keep full control over data, configuration and upgrades over time.
