The following tests are currently under consideration:

• Unit Test
• E2E Test
• Edge Cases
• Migrate shell’s test to e2e

Why is this needed?

KWOK is currently being used by a number of projects for testing and performance. It is crucial that KWOK itself behaves consistently.

Hello @wzshiming,
I'm Shivam, a developer passionate about contributing to the Kubernetes ecosystem through LFX. The KWOK project's focus on scalable cluster management aligns perfectly with my interests. While I'm still developing my expertise in Golang and Kubernetes testing, I'm eager to learn and contribute to improving KWOK's test coverage through unit, E2E, and edge case testing. Participating in this project under the LFX mentorship program would be an invaluable opportunity to gain practical experience alongside seasoned developers and ensure KWOK's continued reliability.
with regards,
Shivam Kumar

Hello @wzshiming ,

I hope you're doing well. My name is Sahil Gupta, and I'm a BTech undergraduate student with a strong interest in Kubernetes and software testing. I recently came across the CNCF - KWOK project and I'm excited about the opportunity to contribute.

Having worked extensively with Kubernetes clusters on Microsoft Azure in a recent project, I've gained practical experience in deploying and managing containerized applications at scale. Additionally, I've been actively learning Golang, recognizing its importance within the Kubernetes ecosystem.

The idea of enhancing test coverage for KWOK, especially through unit tests, end-to-end tests, and addressing edge cases, resonates with me. I believe that by improving the reliability and robustness of KWOK, we can positively impact various projects relying on its capabilities for testing and performance evaluation.

I'm particularly interested in writing tests for KWOK and would love to contribute in this aspect of the project. Could you please provide guidance on how I can get started and make meaningful contributions?

Thank you for considering my interest in participating in the CNCF - KWOK project. I'm looking forward to collaborating with you and the team to drive this project forward.

Best regards,
Sahil Gupta

Hey everyone!
I am Harshith Mente, an undergraduate student at IIITM in India, with a strong passion for constructing and automating intricate systems. Recently, I came across KWOK while exploring CNCF projects for LFX, and the idea of swiftly creating massive simulated Kubernetes clusters truly captivated me.

Background and Expertise:
With a solid foundation in Kubernetes (k8s) and Golang, I am confident in my ability to provide valuable insights to the KWOK project. I am excited to delve deeper into KWOK's codebase and functionalities to begin making meaningful contributions.

Understanding of KWOK:
Purpose: KWOK (Kubernetes WithOut Kubelet) is akin to a magical tool for swiftly setting up large clusters of simulated computer nodes.
Tools:
kwok: Facilitates the creation of fake nodes and pods for experimentation.
kwokctl: Acts as a helpful assistant in managing these simulated clusters efficiently.
Standout Features of KWOK:
Differentiation from kubemark:

kubemark: Mimics a kubelet but consumes substantial memory during node simulation.
KWOK: Focuses on emulating nodes only, utilizing minimal memory even with numerous nodes.
Differentiation from kind:

kind: Constructs a genuine Kubernetes cluster within Docker.
KWOK: Serves as an alternative to kind when actual pod execution is unnecessary.
Contribution Goals:
I am keen on enhancing the test cases within KWOK and would greatly appreciate any guidance on identifying suitable introductory issues. Your assistance in this regard would be immensely valuable as I strive to comprehend the project thoroughly and contribute effectively.
