**Cloud Provider:** Kubernetes

**Platform:** Terraform

**Severity:** High

**Category:** Insecure Configurations

#### Learn More{% #learn-more %}

- [Provider Reference](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/kubernetes/latest/docs/resources/pod#image)

### Description{% #description %}

Check whether Tiller is deployed.Detects references to Tiller in resource `metadata` and in container `image` fields.Specifically inspects `metadata.name`, `metadata.labels.app`, `metadata.labels.name`, top-level `spec`, pod template `spec.template`, and both `container` and `init_container` entries for container images that contain `tiller`.When a match is found, the rule reports an issue with attributes `documentId`, `resourceType`, `resourceName`, `searchKey`, `issueType`, `keyExpectedValue`, and `keyActualValue`.
