Continuous Integration (CI) workflows often encounter bottlenecks when testing Kubernetes applications. Traditional methods of building and tearing down full clusters, whether locally or in the cloud, can be both time-consuming and resource-intensive. vCluster, an open-source virtual cluster solution, offers a game-changing alternative by enabling lightweight Kubernetes clusters to be created on demand and quickly

This talk will guide you through integrating vCluster into your CI pipelines and the benefits you get from it. Virtual Cluster enables rapid application testing in production-like environments, including support for custom resource definitions (CRDs) without the overhead of traditional cluster setups. By the end of this session, you'll be equipped to reduce build times, accelerate testing cycles, and enhance the overall developer experience, as your clusters will take less time to build and you will have more time to test.
