KWOK is a toolkit that enables setting up a cluster of thousands of Nodes in seconds. Under the scene, all Nodes are simulated to behave like real ones, so the overall approach employs a pretty low resource footprint that you can easily play around on your laptop.
KWOK stands for Kubernetes WithOut Kubelet. So far, it provides two tools:
kwokis the cornerstone of this project, responsible for simulating the lifecycle of fake nodes, pods, and other Kubernetes API resources.kwokctlis a CLI tool designed to streamline the creation and management of clusters, with nodes simulated bykwok.
