Automating deployment to kubernetes
If you are deploying simple manifests (not helm-stuff), try shopify's [krane](https://github.com/Shopify/krane). I build a [deploy-container](https://github.com/strowi/deploy/) for use with gitlabs ci-stages a while back.

Using Ansible to deploy k8s manifests
If you have the flexibility to use a different tool https://github.com/Shopify/krane is a great one which among other things does compare what's on the cluster vs what's applied and can prune resources accordingly

10 Ways for Kubernetes Declarative Configuration Management
Kustomize: It provides a solution to customize the Kubernetes resource base configuration and differential configuration without template and DSL. It does not solve the constraint problem itself, but needs to cooperate with a large number of additional tools to check constraints, such as Kube-linter, Checkov and kubescape.

Top 10 terraform tools you should know about.
Checkov is a versatile static code analysis tool designed for infrastructure as code (IaC) and software composition analysis (SCA). It supports a wide range of technologies, including Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Docker, and others, to detect security and compliance issues through graph-based scanning. Checkov also performs SCA scans, identifying vulnerabilities in open source packages and images by checking for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). Additionally, it is integrated into Prisma Cloud Application Security, a platform that helps developers secure cloud resources and infrastructure-as-code files, enabling the identification, rectification, and prevention of misconfigurations throughout the development lifecycle.

Understanding Container Security
For your Dockerfiles, you can also scan them. There are lots of tools that can check your Dockerfiles. They will validate if Dockerfile is compliant with Docker best practices such as not using root user, making sure a health check exists, and not exposing the SSH port. You can use Snyk and Checkov.
