About This Skill
What it does
This skill, iac-scan-kube-linter, performs static analysis of Kubernetes manifests and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) files. It identifies potential security vulnerabilities and policy violations within these configurations. The tool helps ensure that deployments adhere to best practices and organizational standards by scanning for common misconfigurations.
When to use it
- Pre-deployment checks: Integrate into CI/CD pipelines to automatically scan manifests before deployment to Kubernetes clusters.
- Security audits: Regularly audit existing IaC configurations to identify and remediate potential security risks.
- Policy enforcement: Ensure that infrastructure deployments comply with defined security policies and governance rules.
- New project setup: Scan initial manifest files when setting up new Kubernetes projects or applications.
Key capabilities
- Static analysis of Kubernetes manifests (YAML/JSON).
- Scanning of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) files.
- Vulnerability identification within configurations.
- Policy violation detection based on defined rulesets.
Example prompts
- "Scan this Kubernetes manifest for security vulnerabilities: [paste manifest content]"
- "Analyze this Terraform file and report any policy violations."
- "Check this YAML file for common misconfigurations in a Kubernetes deployment."
Tips & gotchas
- The skill requires access to the IaC or Kubernetes manifests being scanned. Ensure proper permissions are granted to the AI agent.
