Why one Kubernetes scanner is never enough

Deprecation, policy, reliability, and CVEs are different failure modes. A neutral scoring approach that blends multiple tools without over-fitting weights.

Every Kubernetes scanner is wrong alone. Treat scanners as orthogonal sensors and combine findings with simple severity math.

Four complementary lenses

  • Deprecated APIs — Pluto-style checks.
  • Workload policy — Polaris / Pod Security-oriented rules.
  • Reliability shape — kube-score style PDB and probe hygiene.
  • Image CVEs — OSV / Trivy / Grype against digests.

Start at 100; subtract fixed points per severity. One critical CVE should dominate three clean lint reports. Run tools in parallel and degrade gracefully.
