Why KubeBuddy?
Comprehensive Diagnostics
Detects node failures, pod crashes, security risks, and networking issues with one command.
No Cluster Intrusion
Runs externally via your terminal or Docker, requiring no agents or Helm charts.
Actionable Reports
Export detailed HTML, JSON, or CLI summaries for quick insights and sharing.
Clean Execution
KubeBuddy runs entirely outside your cluster. No agents, no config drift, no exposure.
Stateless by Design
Scans don't persist anything. No runtime footprint, no security baggage.
Runs Anywhere
Use it locally, in CI/CD, or on a jump host — wherever you work.
What KubeBuddy Checks
Node & Pod Health
Identifies failed nodes, pending pods, and crash loops.
Security Risks
Scans for risky roles, excessive bindings, and exposed permissions.
Networking & Storage
Checks PVCs, services, policies, and reachability issues.
AKS Best Practices
Runs Microsoft-guided checks with a single flag.
Cluster Config
Checks context, kubeconfig, versions, and misaligned settings.
Resource Limits
Flags containers missing CPU or memory limits. Prevent noisy neighbors.
