Kubediff is a Python CLI tool that compares YAML configuration files in version control against the live state of a Kubernetes cluster, reporting differences. It can also run as an in-cluster service that periodically syncs config from GitHub and exports results to Prometheus with a simple UI.

Use cases

  • detect configuration drift between git and kubernetes cluster
  • verify all kubernetes yaml changes have been applied
  • check running k8s state matches version controlled config
  • monitor kubernetes config drift with prometheus
  • compare kubernetes manifests to live cluster state

When to choose

  • you want a simple CLI to spot drift between git-stored YAML and a running cluster
  • you run a GitOps workflow and want periodic drift checks exported to Prometheus

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained tool - Kubediff is deprecated
  • you want full GitOps deployment/sync rather than read-only diffing (use Flux or Argo CD)
