Stable, Safer, Faster: AKA How to Avoid K8s Misconfig with Automation
summary
Explains concrete failures (Target, Zalando, Blue Matador) and three root misconfig types: syntax errors, knowledge defaults, and policy drift, then shows tooling that actually prevents them. Recommends shift‑left CI checks, GitOps with Argo CD, and a centralized policy manager called the tree: an open source CLI that runs three automated checks, a kubectl plugin, CI integration and a dashboard for policy edit/monitoring, demonstrated working end‑to‑end.
