As your engineering teams grow and commit code more frequently, it becomes increasingly difficult to release high-quality, secure code while achieving your desired development velocity. To create smoother developer workflows that ensure high standards for code quality and security, it’s critical for developers to detect and remediate issues earlier in the software development lifecycle— without switching tools or contexts.

Kubernetes is a quintessential operating system for the cloud, providing a platform for the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized microservice applications. At the heart of Kubernetes is the Kubernetes API, which serves as the primary entry point for interacting with the system.
