What Hacker News says
8 sourcesThere are a number of such tools out there. Here's a short list. I'd be interested in any experiences people have had with them in largish production environments.

In Kubernetes YAML GeneratorCool 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.

In Polaris 1.0: Best Practices for Kubernetes WorkloadsGreat post! If you're in the Kubernetes space for long enough, you'll see all of these configuration mistakes happening over and over again.
I've created a static code analyzer for Kubernetes objects, called kube-score, that can identify and prevent many of these issues. It checks for resource limits, probes, podAntiAffinities and much more.
