Guardon — Shift Kubernetes Security Left

Catch K8s Mistakes Before CI

Guardon — Shift Kubernetes Security Left launched on November 23, 2025 with 8 votes, #1,383 of 9,796 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches.

What it does

Guardon is different because it brings Kubernetes YAML validation directly into the browser—fully local, instant, and privacy-first. Unlike existing scanners that run in CI/CD or require cloud backends, Guardon validates multi-doc YAMLs in real time, imports Kyverno rules for org-specific guardrails, fetches configs from GitHub, and provides immediate, actionable fixes. It shifts Kubernetes security and compliance truly left—right where developers work.

    Hey HN, I'm Brandon, a solo dev, and I built KubeForge - a visual editor for Kubernetes deployments that helps you build and validate YAML configs. Origin Story: Over the past couple weeks, I got fed up manually writing Kubernetes YAMLs, especially when working with nested structures like containers, env, and volumeMounts. Even small typos or misaligned fields added lost time to broken deploys. So I started hacking together a tool to visualize the structure of Kubernetes objects based on the OpenAPI schema. That prototype quickly turned into a full manifest builder. What KubeForge does: -…

  • Holos – Configure Kubernetes with CUE data structures instead of YAML2024 · holos.run · ▲77

    Hi HN! I’m excited to share Holos, a Go command line tool we wrote to fill the configuration management gap in Kubernetes. Holos uses CUE to configure software distributed with Helm and Kustomize using a well defined, type safe language eliminating the need to template YAML. You probably know (or are) someone who has suffered with the complexity of plain text YAML templates and merging multiple values.yaml files together to configure software running in Kubernetes. We built Holos so we don’t have to template YAML but we can still integrate software distributed with Helm and Kustomize…

  • Talanoa▲346

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
