In an Infrastructure as code / GitOps world, testing that your Kubernetes configuration is correct, secure, and compliant to your company's requirements & best practices is more important than ever. An increasingly large list of tools is there to help you - linters, validators, testing frameworks, admission controllers... each working in subtly different ways.

To help you navigate these waters, I will present some of the most common tools for Kubernetes manifests validation & compliance testing, detail their use, limitations and provide some usage examples.

I will also introduce Kubeconform, a new Kubernetes validation tool I authored.
