🔘Pynt for Kubernetes Quick Prerequisites Guide for the scanner

Overview

The Pynt agent is the container that performs the Pynt scan inside your cluster. By default, it will be created in the pyntnamespace. You can modify this namespace to fit your organization’s standards if needed.

Access Control

• Make sure that RBAC permissions allow the Pynt agent in its namespace (default pynt) to access resources in the other namespaces where your APIs and microservices run.

Networking (Egress)

• Ensure the agent can reach your APIs and required external endpoints (such as Pynt Cloud SaaS if applicable).

• DNS access must be allowed.

• If you run with strict NetworkPolicies, confirm that egress rules permit the Pynt agent to reach both your internal namespaces and any necessary external hosts.

Resource Requirements

• The Pynt agent requires at least 2GB of memory requests to run reliably. Ensure your cluster has sufficient resources before deploying.

Tip: Start with the default installation in the pynt namespace, validate connectivity, then adjust namespace, resources, and permissions as per your org’s policies.
