Fairwinds' Polaris keeps your clusters sailing smoothly. It runs a variety of checks to ensure that
Kubernetes pods and controllers are configured using best practices, helping you avoid
problems in the future.
Polaris is an open source policy engine for Kubernetes that validates and remediates resource configuration. It includes 30+ built in configuration policies, as well as the ability to build custom policies with JSON Schema. When run on the command line or as a mutating webhook, Polaris can automatically remediate issues based on policy criteria.
Polaris can be run in three different modes:
* As a [dashboard](https://polaris.docs.fairwinds.com/dashboard), so you can audit what's running inside your cluster.
* As an [admission controller](https://polaris.docs.fairwinds.com/admission-controller), so you can automatically reject workloads that don't adhere to your organization's policies.
* As a [command-line tool](https://polaris.docs.fairwinds.com/infrastructure-as-code), so you can test local YAML files, e.g. as part of a CI/CD process.
* As a [dashboard](https://polaris.docs.fairwinds.com/dashboard) - Validate Kubernetes resources against policy-as-code.
* As an [admission controller](https://polaris.docs.fairwinds.com/admission-controller) - Automatically reject or modify workloads that don't adhere to your organization's policies.
* As a [command-line tool](https://polaris.docs.fairwinds.com/infrastructure-as-code) - Incorporate policy-as-code into the CI/CD process to test local YAML files.
