As applications increasingly rely on Kubernetes for deployment, ensuring seamless integration and end-to-end testing during pull requests is crucial. This talk dives into the practical steps of building a robust CI/CD pipeline that mirrors production environments, enabling reliable and efficient testing within your Kubernetes ecosystem.

We’ll explore how to:

* Set up foundational unit and integration tests using modern tools like Testcontainers and GitHub Workflows.
* Integrate Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) to emulate a production-grade cluster for testing.
* Leverage vCluster to isolate test environments, ensuring parallel runs and minimizing interference.
* Attendees will gain actionable insights to create scalable and maintainable testing pipelines via an existing working example.

Depending on the audience, I can focus more on a aspect or another.
