Automatic Multi-cloud validation
Problem Statement
Gitlab users today deploy applications into k8s clusters on a hybrid of public and private clouds and data centers. Today those users have to validate these applications are running when deployed into >1 cloud environment on their own and validate the results in some way before a full deployment.
By providing this capability through Gitlab earlier in the CI/CD flow and exposing the results to users they will be able to reduce their lead time for changes and reduce change failure rate for multi-cloud applications.
This will validate the opportunity described in #7982
