Snyk has released a new Kubernetes configuration security feature that integrates with source code managers to detect security issues in YAML, JSON, and Helm charts. The feature aims to make it easier for developers to handle security issues independently by highlighting problems directly in the context of their configuration files and providing explanations for recommended fixes. This feature is available on both free and paid Snyk plans and does not require a paid plan to use, with the goal of rolling out full availability within a week. The feature works across different Kubernetes environments and supports various file types, including YAML generators. It also provides customizable risk categorization settings and explanations for issues detected.
