KubeLinter, developed by StackRox (now part of Red Hat), is an open source linter that scans Kubernetes manifests and Helm charts to identify insecure configurations, deprecated patterns, and operational risks. It ships with a rich set of built-in checks covering security, reliability, and production readiness. Teams integrate KubeLinter into CI pipelines and GitOps workflows to enforce standards like non-root containers, proper resource limits, network policy requirements, and RBAC hygiene. Its speed, clarity, and simple rule-based design make it a valuable guardrail for Kubernetes platform teams and application developers aiming for secure, consistent deployments.
