Manifest Snippets + Removed-API Audit (8 Sets)

Runs the same checker as our npm package on a Node.js runtime that pip installs for you (nodejs-wheel-binaries) - no system Node.js needed. Your files are checked locally.

For platform engineers on AKS: 28 rules naming every removed apiVersion, literal credential and :latest tag in the file you have open, and 40 snippets written against the versions that still exist.

Install

cloud-manifest-audit-kit file

Node 18+. The same 28 rules as the VS Code extension, from a terminal or CI.

Free

• The file you have open is checked whole against all 28 rules, with line numbers, and all 40 snippet blocks expand at the cursor - no key, no limit, no watermark
• --rules lists every rule

With a licence ($29 once)

• The same 28 rules run across every file in the workspace instead of one, your team's own banned registries and required labels are checked alongside them, and the findings leave as a CSV, JSON or HTML report file you can attach to the change request

cloud-manifest-audit-kit --dir ./templates --report html --out report.html

Managed Kubernetes security platforms start at $45 per developer per month; a 2026 cloud security-audit hour benchmarks at $275, and a productized cluster audit starts at GBP 395
