Validation of best practices in your Kubernetes clusters

Flexible, reusable and concise configuration for Kubernetes

Generic templated configuration management for Kubernetes, Terraform and other things

KEDA is a Kubernetes event-driven autoscaler and cloud event scaling engine. It functions as a custom metrics provider that monitors external event sources—including message brokers, databases, and cloud metrics—to dynamically adjust the replica counts of containerized workloads. The project is distinguished by its scale-to-zero workflow, which reduces workloads to zero replicas during inactivity and automatically restarts them when new events are detected. It operates as a multi-cloud event trigger system, using a pluggable scaler interface to integrate with a wide array of third-party servi

A CLI-supported framework that streamlines writing and deployment of Kubernetes configurations to multiple clusters.

kubenav is the navigator for your Kubernetes clusters right in your pocket. kubenav is a mobile app to manage Kubernetes clusters and to get an overview of the status of your Kubernetes resources.

Enable dynamic and seamless Kubernetes multi-cluster topologies

Meshery is a service mesh management plane and cloud native infrastructure orchestrator. It provides a visual design-as-code environment for modeling microservices and infrastructure components through declarative blueprints, functioning as a centralized platform for designing, deploying, and managing service mesh infrastructure. The platform is distinguished by its ability to translate visual designs into active deployments and its use of gRPC-based adapters to integrate with diverse infrastructure providers. It features a multi-tenant architecture that manages shared workspaces and role-bas

Transforms docker-compose, ECS, and Marathon configurations

Gatekeeper is a Kubernetes admission control and policy enforcement engine used to ensure cluster resources comply with organizational security and configuration standards. It intercepts API requests to validate or reject non-compliant resources before they are persisted in the cluster. The project uses a parameterized policy library and custom resource definitions to create reusable templates and enforcement rules. It distinguishes itself through a hub-and-spoke management model, allowing a controller in a management cluster to enforce policies across separate target clusters. Beyond admiss

Kruise is a workload management system designed for large-scale applications on Kubernetes. It provides a framework for advanced orchestration, scaling, and upgrade strategies to maintain stability in massive deployments. The project is distinguished by its ability to perform in-place updates of container images and resource limits without deleting and recreating pods. It includes a dedicated image pre-puller to accelerate pod startup and a sidecar injector to dynamically manage the lifecycle of sidecar containers. Additionally, a resource distributor synchronizes configuration maps and secre

KubeLinter is a static analysis tool that checks Kubernetes YAML files and Helm charts to ensure the applications represented in them adhere to best practices.

Reloader is a Kubernetes custom controller designed to automate pod restarts and synchronize running workloads with external configuration stores. It functions as a configuration reloader that triggers rolling upgrades for pods whenever referenced ConfigMaps or Secrets are updated. The tool distinguishes itself by integrating with external secret managers, CSI drivers, and GitOps workflows to ensure workloads are restarted when secrets from external stores change. It utilizes targeted filtering via labels and annotations to control which resources or namespaces trigger restarts, and it can pa

Unleash is an open-source feature management platform designed to decouple feature releases from code deployments. It provides a centralized system for orchestrating software releases, enabling teams to control application behavior in real-time through segmented user targeting and automated lifecycle management. The platform distinguishes itself by utilizing a client-side evaluation engine that executes flag logic locally within the application process, ensuring sub-millisecond decision latency without requiring network round-trips. It supports infrastructure-as-code patterns by allowing feat
