Maxime VISONNEAU 32c1150b28 config: new flags '--disallow-(config|annotation)-exemptions' (#636)
This change follows up #635 and lets end-users decide to disallow exemption rules defined as part of the config file or the controller annotations (whether none, any or both). The main use case here is to be able to prevent users with edit privileges over a controller to add a new exemption rule through an annotation which may obfuscate the actual policies we want to enforce.

Best Practices for Kubernetes Workload Configuration

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 can be run in three different modes:

  • As a dashboard, so you can audit what's running inside your cluster.
  • As an admission controller, so you can automatically reject workloads that don't adhere to your organization's policies.
  • As a command-line tool, so you can test local YAML files, e.g. as part of a CI/CD process.
