Heading
DevOps and platform engineering teams often face challenges with allocating the right Kubernetes resources to pods for automated testing. Over-provisioning drives up unnecessary Kubernetes costs, while under-provisioning slows tests and can lead to flaky, unreliable results. Without real-time monitoring, it’s difficult to spot usage spikes or abnormal patterns — and as test executions scale into the hundreds or thousands (especially when triggered by CI/CD pipelines), these inefficiencies become harder to track.
Kubernetes Cost Management Dashboard
The Testkube Resource Dashboard provides real-time visibility into CPU, memory, storage, and network usage for each test execution. This allows DevOps and QA teams to quickly identify tests that are over-provisioned, under-provisioned, or exhibiting unexpected resource consumption.
The dashboard displays all resource usage data in a centralized location, making it easy to track usage trends and identify potential issues. This information can also be used to justify Kubernetes events that drive up costs to higher-ups.
By providing real-time insights into resource usage, the Testkube Resource Dashboard helps teams optimize their Kubernetes resource allocation and reduce infrastructure costs. Over-provisioning can be identified and corrected, while under-provisioning can be addressed to ensure tests run smoothly and reliably.
