Test clusters
Cluster-level isolation is the highest form of isolation. You run your tests in clusters that are totally independent of your production cluster. The challenge with this approach is how to keep your test cluster/clusters in sync with your production cluster. On the software side, this may not be too difficult with a good CI/CD system, but populating and migrating data is often pretty complicated.
There are two forms of test clusters:
- Each developer gets their own cluster.
- Dedicated clusters for performing system tests.
