Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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.

Dealing with Yaml files
Kube linter would be a first citizen for your need https://github.com/stackrox/kube-linter. If you use Helm would be Helm linter as well. Kube score is another interesting tool offering you best practices patterns. I usually develop with vscode and have a Yaml + Kubernetes extension. These could be enough to help you get through. Nevertheless, consider adopting a skaffold with a k3s for a faster feedback on the local dev lifecycle.

Kubernetes YAML Linter for vscode?
Another great tool is KubeLinter which checks for a lot of helpful stuff, including dangling references. This is nice, but it is a command-line tool, so I don't get live feedback in my editor.

Implement DevSecOps to Secure your CI/CD pipeline
It is always a good practice to scan your Kubernetes deployment or Helm chart before deploying. We can use Checkov to scans Kubernetes manifests and identifies security and configuration issues. It also supports Helm chart scanning. We can also use terrascan and kubeLinter to scan the Kubernetes manifest.

How to validate Kubernetes YAML files
Its worth mentioning about Kube-linter (https://github.com/stackrox/kube-linter) its FOSS and has a very minimal and effective set of commands

Top Terraform Tools to Know in 2024
Checkov is another great tool that examines your Terraform files (.tf), parsing the configurations and evaluating them against a comprehensive set of predefined policies. It scans Terraform-managed infrastructure and detects misconfigurations that could lead to security issues or non-compliance with best practices and regulations.

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.
