Configuration

The default Polaris configuration can be seen here.

You can customize the configuration to do things like:

• Turn checks on and off
• Change the severity level of checks
• Add new custom checks
• Add exemptions for particular workloads or namespaces

To pass in your custom configuration, follow the instructions for your environment:

• CLI - set the --config argument to point to your config.yaml
• Helm - set the config variable in your values file
• kubectl - create a ConfigMap with your config.yaml, mount it as a volume, and use the --config argument in your Deployment
