Valken documentation

The guides and reference are being written alongside the beta. Here's what's coming, and what's already answered elsewhere.

Getting startedSOON

Install on macOS, Windows or Linux, pick a kubeconfig context, and open your first cluster.

The three lensesSOON

Topology and Traffic, and Security on Pro: what each one shows, how to drill in, and the keyboard shortcuts for all of them.

Agent and MCPSOON

Bring your own model, what the agent can and can't do, the MCP server, and how changes are proposed and approved.

Security and fix plansSOON

Valken Sentinel, how risk scores are worked out, exposure paths, offline vulnerability data and fix plans.

Clusters and the FleetSOON

Any number of contexts, several clusters open at once, the Fleet view and drift between clusters.

ReferenceSOON

The read-only ClusterRole, every host the app contacts, settings, the license and the privacy controls.

IN THE MEANTIME

Already answered

Permissions

Valken only needs get, list and watch, plus pods/log. The ClusterRole will be published here; until then, any read-only kubeconfig works.

Your cluster data

Stays on your machine. What leaves it, and what doesn't, and the privacy policy in full.

Plans

What Basic and Pro each include, feature by feature, on the pricing page; Pro in depth on its own page.

The code

Every Kubernetes API call lives in valken-core, open source under Apache-2.0.
