Problem statement Every product needs some measure of testing; security products need more than most. Achieving the confidence, product quality, and product safety necessary for an industry-critical solution such as Okta could be done with infinite resources, infinite money, and infinite time. Until those are available, alternative solutions are needed. Solution With finite testing environmental resources, Okta workflow teams achieved uninterruptible testing by deploying multiple topic branches to the same testing segregated by virtual Kubernetes clusters with strong isolation guarantees. With this capability, our teams not only save costs but also improve the development process and release cycles. Sandbox environment In a staging environment, network traffic comes in and is routed to a predetermined virtual Kubernetes cluster, which is the sandbox environment. In the sandbox environment, each sandbox test org can be based on an individual topic branch deployment. The topic branch deployment has its own lifecycle, initializing, updating, and.
