Shoalcheck Reviews & Product Details

Shoalcheck is a read-only Kubernetes audit you run from your laptop. It installs nothing in the cluster (get and list only). One reading lists reliability, security, cost and compliance findings from 89 detection rules and 15 stack analyzers, each tied to the object it rests on and the basis behind it. Readings are kept on your machine, so the next reading of the same cluster says what changed. Preflight answers one change before you make it: which node will not drain and the object that stops it, what blocks the next upgrade, and what losing a zone would strand. Preflight is free on every plan. A CI/CD gate checks pull requests against the live cluster, and findings can be filed as Jira or Linear tickets. Shoalcheck ships as a CLI, a kubectl plugin and a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux, and works with EKS, AKS, GKE and any conformant cluster.
