Testkube’s new multi-cluster support makes it easy to orchestrate and scale Kubernetes-native test executions across all environments from a single control plane.

Executing your automated tests in Kubernetes was never designed to be simple—especially when you're juggling multiple clusters, staging environments, CI/CD pipelines, testing tools, and developer sandboxes spread across regions, teams and departments.

But with Testkube’s latest release, all of that gets a whole lot easier.

You can now orchestrate and manage test executions across multiple Kubernetes clusters or namespaces—from a single, unified control plane.

No more duplicated configs. No more fragile workarounds. No more custom scripted solutions. Just consistent, scalable test execution everywhere you need it.

Here’s how it helps in the real world:

🔁 Run the Same Tests Across Dev, Staging, and Prod

Define your tests once, and run them anywhere. Whether you’re validating a new feature in dev, running regression tests in staging, verifying production stability, or empowering different development teams to run tests they need whenever and wherever  they need, Testkube ensures every environment runs the appropriate test workflow.

No more wondering if staging has the latest test definitions. You get a single source of truth, reducing human error and making test management simpler and more reliable.

🌍 Keep Global Deployments Consistent

Deploying Kubernetes  apps or infrastructure in multiple regions? Now you can run the exact same tests in each location to ensure consistent behavior—no matter where your workloads live. Whether you're supporting multiple cloud regions or hybrid setups, you can catch regional discrepancies early and deliver a unified experience to all users.

It’s an easy way to avoid surprises like “it only breaks in us-east-2,” while building confidence in geo-distributed rollouts. This is especially valuable for applications tied to regional SLAs or compliance requirements.

👩‍💻 Give Developers Real Tests in Their Local Sandbox

Developers working in local clusters or sandbox environments can now access a centralized catalog of tests, reducing rework and aligning local results with production expectations. It’s a smoother path from dev to prod and eliminates the guesswork of writing ad hoc local tests..

That means fewer “works on my machine” moments and tighter alignment between local development and what CI/CD expects downstream.

🌐 Test from Multiple Locations—Against One Environment

Want to simulate what your app feels like in Tokyo, Frankfurt, and Virginia – all at once? Now you can trigger tests from different regions against a single cluster to measure latency, validate end-to-end flows, or just stress test from various points around the globe.  

Perfect for benchmarking, failover validation, or testing latency-sensitive systems under real-world conditions.

⚙️ Automate Testing in CI/CD Ephemeral Environments

Are you spinning up temporary test environments in your pipelines? Great. Testkube can hook into your ephemeral environment, run the same reliable set of tests, and collect results—without any extra setup.

Support for floating licenses and unlimited agents means you can scale up freely and avoid bottlenecks, even in complex, parallel pipelines.

How Testkube Multi-Agent Support Works

Behind the scenes, Testkube connects each cluster through lightweight Runner Agents. These agents link back to a unified control plane, which holds your test definitions, parameters, and results—accessible to every connected environment.

There’s no limit to how many agents you deploy, and environments can now span multiple clusters or namespaces, giving you flexibility. And with new licensing options, you can choose what works for your team:

  • Fixed licenses for persistent clusters like staging or production

  • Floating licenses for CI/CD use cases, with built-in queuing when capacity is reached

Whether you're managing a global platform or iterating locally, Testkube makes test execution consistent, scalable, and cloud-native.

Try It Out Today

This is one of our most powerful updates yet—and it’s ready for you today. With multi-cluster support, you can take your existing environments and scale them further than ever before. Whether you’re coordinating tests across dev, staging, and production, or orchestrating global test runs from a single control plane, this update unlocks the kind of consistency and control that large teams need.

For current Testkube users, here’s how to get started:

  1. Upgrade to the latest version of the Testkube Control Plane and Agent

  2. Add new Runner Agents to your existing Environments and execute your Workflows on them

  3. Review the updated documentation or reach out to our product team for guidance

New to Testkube?

Testkube is a Kubernetes-native testing platform built to help teams automate, orchestrate, and scale testing across every stage of software delivery. Whether you're running integration tests in CI/CD pipelines, validating microservices in ephemeral environments, or managing large-scale production workflows, Testkube brings it all under one unified control plane.

And now, with built-in multi-cluster support, it's even easier to ensure consistent test execution across all your environments—no matter how complex your infrastructure.

If you're just getting started, we’d love to help you set up your first cluster, connect environments, and design a test workflow that scales with your needs. Reach out to our team and we’ll get you up and running.

Test once. Run anywhere.
