A similar tool is Popeye. It works on any cluster, not just clusters hosted on GKE.

2 points · Open discussionCool project, congratulations on the launch!
How does this project relate to other tools in the same space, such as kube-score [1] and popeye [2]?
From my point of view, the approach taken by for example kube-score where resources are matched with each other to give a better overview is extremely powerful, for example it will notice if a Service is misconfigured and wouldn't match any Pods.
