The EKS Scalability team is responsible for improving performance across the Kubernetes stack. We started our journey by manually running tests against modified EKS dev clusters. This helped us to identify some bottlenecks, but results were difficult to demonstrate and reproduce. We wanted to increase the velocity of our discoveries, as well as our confidence in our results. We set out to build automation to help us configure cluster components, execute well known test workloads, and analyze the results. This evolved into KIT, and we’re ready to share it to help accelerate testing in other teams.

Nit: should this be "KIT clusters or guest clusters"?

We have been using these interchangeably, so want to make sure both are covered.
