Generate a Master Test Plan for validating micro-services API interoperability on hybrid cloud compute clusters leveraging Kubernetes orchestration

Existing Architecture Documentation *

Hybrid Cloud Environment Profile * Select environment type AWS EKS + On-premises Kubernetes Azure AKS + GCP GKE multi-cloud Private OpenShift + Public Cloud Services VMware Tanzu + Public Kubernetes Rancher RKE2 hybrid clusters Custom bare-metal + managed services Edge computing + central cloud Multi-region federated clusters

Interoperability Test Scenarios * Choose focus areas Service-to-service authentication & authorization Cross-cluster service discovery & DNS resolution Distributed tracing across service mesh boundaries API gateway routing and rate limiting Event-driven messaging consistency Data synchronization across cluster boundaries Canary deployments and blue-green switching Failover and disaster recovery workflows Multi-tenant resource isolation Security policy enforcement across clusters

Compliance and Standards Framework * Choose compliance framework ISO 27001 Security Management SOC 2 Type II Compliance GDPR Data Protection HIPAA Healthcare Standards PCI DSS Payment Security NIST Cybersecurity Framework FedRAMP Authorization ISO 22301 Business Continuity Kubernetes CIS Benchmarks Service Mesh Interface (SMI) Standards
