There are lots of different ways of using Kubeval, this page collects some of those contributed by users.

Git pre-commit hook

Add the following to your Kubernetes configs repository in .git/hooks/pre-commit to trigger kubeval before each commit.

This will validate all the yaml files in the top directory of the repository.

#!/bin/sh -e

echo "Running kubeval validations..."

if ! [ -x "$(command -v kubeval)" ]; then
  echo 'Error: kubeval is not installed.' >&2
  exit 1
fi

# Inspect code using kubeval
if kubeval --strict -d . ; then
    echo "Static analysis found no problems."
    exit 0
else
    echo 1>&2 "Static analysis found violations that need to be fixed."
    exit 1
fi
