The premise
AI is a strong first-pass reviewer for K8s YAML — it catches the boring stuff humans miss.
What AI does well here
- Flag missing resource requests and limits.
- Check liveness and readiness probes for sanity.
- Suggest securityContext and PSP-equivalent settings.
What AI cannot do
- Know your cluster's actual capacity or quotas.
- Decide acceptable surge and PDB policies for your business.
