Definition

Popeye is a command-line tool that scans Kubernetes clusters for potential issues, ensuring that resources are configured according to best practices. It analyzes various aspects of the cluster, such as pod configurations, service settings, and resource limits, to identify misconfigurations and suggest improvements. Popeye helps maintain a healthy Kubernetes environment by providing actionable insights into the cluster’s state.
