FAQ
What does this tool tell you?
The Kubernetes Manifest Linter checks YAML manifests for missing resource limits, missing health probes, :latest image tags, and privileged security contexts.
What affects the result most?
Image tag :latest (non-deterministic builds). securityContext.privileged: true (host kernel access). Missing resources.limits (unbounded resource use).
How should I use the result?
Treat the tool's output as a first-pass check, not a proof of correctness. A clean pass means no issues in the patterns this tool recognizes; a failure points to a specific problem you can investigate in your source. The underlying spec is the authoritative source for edge cases.
