Solution-Soft Extends Time Machine® Containers Solution to Support GKE Autopilot

SANTA CLARA, CA, March 3, 2025 – Solution-Soft Systems Inc., a leading provider of Virtual Clock and Time Shift Testing solutions, is pleased to announce that its Time Machine Containers Solution, already supporting Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), now includes full support for GKE Autopilot. This expansion marks a significant milestone, as Solution-Soft now fully supports both standard and Autopilot configurations of GKE, offering unparalleled flexibility and efficiency to enterprises.

Building on the success of its support for GKE, the addition of Autopilot ensures that Time Machine remains a key enabler for time and date simulation testing in Kubernetes environments. GKE Autopilot, Google’s fully managed Kubernetes solution, emphasizes simplicity, resource optimization, and operational efficiency. These benefits are seamlessly complemented by the advanced features of Time Machine, empowering organizations to unlock the full potential of their containerized applications.

Why Support for GKE Autopilot Matters

GKE Autopilot enhances Kubernetes clusters by automating infrastructure management, optimizing resource utilization, and enforcing best practices in security and configuration. This fully managed approach enables users to:

Scale effortlessly with managed infrastructure that dynamically adjusts to workload demands.
Reduce operational complexity while focusing on application development and testing.
Achieve greater cost efficiency through optimized resource allocation and automatic license provisioning.

Time Machine Key Features Now Available for GKE Autopilot

Seamless Integration: Enjoy hassle-free integration with containerized environments, without the need to modify container images.
Time Travel the whole Namespace: Synchronize time travel for multiple containers in a namespace using a single virtual clock.
Automatic License Management: Autopilot’s scalable architecture works seamlessly with Time Machine’s automatic license provisioning, enabling rapid deployment.
Coordinated Testing Across Multiple Namespaces: Use Sync Server and Sync Groups to manage synchronized time travel across namespaces in your GKE Autopilot cluster.
Unified Management Console: Monitor and control all Time Machine features, including virtual clocks and Sync Server, from a centralized dashboard for enhanced visibility and efficiency.

“This expansion to support GKE Autopilot demonstrates our commitment to addressing the needs of modern Kubernetes environments,” said Paul Wang, Chief Technology Officer at Solution-Soft. “By supporting Autopilot, we’ve ensured that Time Machine’s time and date simulating testing capabilities are accessible to organizations leveraging Google’s fully managed Kubernetes solution. With this development, Time Machine fully supports all GKE deployment models.”
