A centralized test platform on Kubernetes runs about 250,000 automated tests a day across four EKS clusters. Kueue quotas and priority classes keep any one team from starving the others. Indexed Jobs split large suites into shards. Flaky tests are handled as platform policy, with a single retry and a quarantine that has an owner. The reporting layer turns raw results into release certification, and it matters as much as the scheduler.
