The plugin reports configuration differences while suppressing expected variations by using configurable validation rules and templates. For example, the plugin can highlight unexpected differences, such as mismatched field values, missing resources, or version discrepancies, while ignoring expected differences, such as optional components or hardware-specific fields. This focused comparison makes it easier to assess cluster compliance with the target configuration. -You can use the `cluster-compare` plugin in development, production, and support scenarios. +You can use the `cluster-compare` plugin in development, production, and support scenarios.
