Increasing Reliability via Helm Pre Release Checks

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

Pre-release checks validate manifests, policies and permissions so releases fail fast instead of after deploy. Examples: run kubeval against the stable nginx-ingress chart to catch invalid or deprecated API objects (Kubernetes 1.16 migration risk); run conftest/Rego policies to reject oversized or noncompliant resources; run kubectl auth can-i or who-can to detect RBAC gaps that break helm v3 installs (no tiller). These checks plug into CI/CD and reliably block broken releases before cluster changes.
