Multicluster

Testkube can federate multiple clusters. Conceptually, each cluster maps to an environment within Testkube. You will require a pro plan to deploy multiple Testkube agents.

info

The commands below that connect to on-prem will likely need to add an --agent-uri flag or they will instead by default connect to Testkube Cloud.

Deploy an agent that will join Testkube

You can add another agent to an existing Testkube deployment within a couple of minutes. Get started by going to the Dashboard and create a new environment. Afterwards it will show you a command that can be used to bootstrap the agent in another cluster. The command looks as follows:

Command that deploys an agent that joins Testkube

Multiple agents within the same cluster

It's possible to install multiple agents within the same cluster. This requires modified values for the second agent to prevent creating cluster-wide objects twice which is disallowed by Kubernetes. Make the following changes to the values of the second agent:

testkube-operator:
enabled: false

Deploy a control plane without an agent

By default, Testkube will create an environment within the same namespace as the control plane. You can choose for a minimal deployment without a control plane. Once started, you can deploy agents that will join your control plane as described above.

Within the Helm values.yaml make the following changes:

testkube-agent:
- enabled: true
+ enabled: false

testkube-cloud-api:

features:
- bootstrapEnv: "my-first-environment"
- bootstrapAgentTokenSecretRef: "testkube-default-agent-token"
