What the publisher says
As described on Microsoft Marketplace.
The Metrics Server is a lightweight, cluster-wide aggregator of resource usage data in Kubernetes. It collects metrics such as CPU and memory usage from nodes and pods, providing real-time insights into cluster performance. Metrics Server is designed for efficient resource utilization and high concurrency, making it essential for Kubernetes autoscaling and monitoring in cloud-native environments.

Confirmed means matched to a public authoritative registry. Claimed means the vendor or its listing states it, not yet cross-checked. A framework not shown was not found in any source we hold, which is not evidence against it. Not listed means a scoped registry check found no match for this vendor's domain: a No is a scoped registry check, not a compliance judgment. Confidence bands: 95% domain-verified, 90% registry-checked, 80% self-attested, 70% weak signal. Self-attested items marked “vendor's site” are gathered from the vendor's own website and are not verified by us.

Unknown means this listing does not publish a repository. It is not a statement that the code is closed, and a linked repository is not a claim that the publisher wrote it: the registry computes that relationship privately and does not publish it.
Evidence risk is the share of the build you cannot see before you deploy, not a security rating. Sign in to see the layer-by-layer basis for this band.
