This is a neat project. The documentation could be clearer, however. I was interpreted the phrase "create a cluster of thousands of nodes in seconds" to mean that it offered a significant speed up in initializing real clusters. Rather, this appears to be a tool for mocking kubelet to enable development and and testing at scale. Or am I misunderstanding?

Re: KWOK: Kubernetes WithOut Kubelet
#12What kinds of things would someone evaluate with this where the limitations aren’t a factor? If I were testing load, I’d want performance and lifecycle behavior to be accurate, but I guess there are some other use cases?
Re: KWOK: Kubernetes WithOut Kubelet
#13I have a problem where I want to create an extension for https://external-secrets.io/v0.7.2/ and I want to be able to test it in a CI CD pipeline.
Woulds this allow me to run pulumi (infra as code) to setup a cluster simualtion and run some tests?

#14What is this actually doing to simulate a 'node'?

One area we've been poking at is better understanding API server and scheduler decisions when large number of nodes fail at the same time. We don't actually need to be running the workloads to get useful information.

You are correct, although for what it's worth the phrase "without Kubelet" from the name is fairly unambiguous to anyone in the Kubernetes ecosystem.

The nodes here are fake, they won't actually run your software. For CI/CD clusters I would recommend kind (https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind).

I'm not so sure. My first association was of some fancy kind of "deamonless" system for controlling nodes, maybe by automatically SSHing into the node or whatever.

That was my first impression as well.

Probably because the authors are not native in English.
