Run WebDriver and Puppeteer tests in cloud browsers provided by Aerokube. Aerokube provides lightning fast and comparable cheap browsers without pain of maintaining own infrastructure. This plugin works with WebDriver and Puppeteer helpers of CodeceptJS.

If you need to host cloud browsers on your own infrastructure consider browsers in Kubernetes with Aerokube Moon
