Polaris Integration Guide

Integrate Polaris with Vulnetix. Audit Kubernetes YAML manifests and Helm charts for security vulnerabilities, reliability risks, and efficiency problems before they reach your cluster.

Install & scan

$ # Homebrew (macOS/Linux)

Run Polaris in CI

Scan on every push and upload the results to Vulnetix:

- name: Install Polaris
  run: |
    curl -L https://github.com/FairwindsOps/polaris/releases/latest/download/polaris_linux_amd64.tar.gz | tar xz
    sudo mv polaris /usr/local/bin/

- name: Audit Kubernetes manifests
  run: polaris audit --audit-path ./k8s/ --format json > polaris.json

- name: Upload to Vulnetix
  run: vulnetix upload --file polaris.json

Centralise Polaris results in Vulnetix

Upload Polaris JSON output to the Vulnetix platform to deduplicate findings, prioritise them with EPSS, CISA KEV and Coalition ESS exploit intelligence, and track remediation across every scanner in a single queue.
