Compatibility Testing

The Importance of Kubernetes Compatibility Testing

While Kubernetes provides a consistent interface for infrastructure, the various implementations, configurations and versions do introduce some variability. Depending on how deeply an application is interfacing with different Kubernetes resources it becomes increasingly important to do extensive compatibility testing before releasing updates to customers.

The first comprehensive Kubernetes Compatibility Testing Framework is available from Replicated. The offering includes different distributions (EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift, kind, K3s, kURL etc), versions (1.28, 1.27, 1.26, 1.25 etc) and configurations of both Kubernetes and the application.
