Using Telemetry to Test Your Application Across Customer-Representative Environments

Replicated's Instance Insights feature leverages telemetry data from customer clusters to facilitate application testing across diverse customer-representative environments using GitHub actions. This approach, demonstrated by Chuck D'Antonio, integrates Replicated's Compatibility Matrix and telemetry insights to automatically test software across various Kubernetes distributions such as GKE, OpenShift, AKS, and K3S. By accessing detailed cluster information through the Replicated Vendor Portal, developers can run tests tailored to the specific environments their customers use, enhancing the reliability and compatibility of applications by surfacing configurations that might be overlooked in traditional test planning. This method ensures that applications perform as expected in real-world customer settings, offering an efficient way to address any compatibility issues preemptively.
