Shipping code isn’t the finish line; it’s just one step in making sure your software works the way it should. In this session, we’ll show how to build a GitOps-powered testing machine using open source tools to bring testing, validation, and policy enforcement into the same workflow that handles your deployments.

We’ll walk through a real-world example where a Git commit spins up an isolated vCluster environment, executes tests with Testkube, uses Kyverno to apply policy checks, and manages everything through Git with Argo CD.

Whether you're a platform engineer, SRE, or tester, this session will highlight how a GitOps-first approach can streamline Kubernetes testing, reduce manual troubleshooting, and improve release confidence using entirely open source tooling.
