## What it is
kubent (Kube-No-Trouble) is a Go CLI tool that scans Kubernetes clusters for usage of deprecated API versions. It detects deprecated resources from local manifests, kubectl last-applied annotations, and Helm v3 stored manifests to help plan cluster upgrades.

## Use cases
- check my kubernetes cluster for deprecated apis before upgrading
- find workloads using removed api versions in k8s
- scan helm releases for deprecated manifests
- audit cluster before upgrading to kubernetes 1.16+
- detect deprecated resources in local yaml manifests

## When to choose
- you are planning a Kubernetes cluster version upgrade and need to find deprecated API usage first
- you deploy with kubectl or Helm v3 and want automated deprecation detection
- you want a simple standalone binary that works across Linux, macOS, and Windows

## When to avoid
- you need continuous policy enforcement or admission control rather than point-in-time scanning
- you use deployment methods kubent cannot inspect, since it needs original manifests stored somewhere
- you need a full cluster security or compliance audit tool
