KWOK (Kubernetes WithOut Kubelet)

KWOK is pronounced as /kwɔk/.

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.

What is KWOK?

KWOK stands for Kubernetes WithOut Kubelet. So far, it provides two tools:

• kwok is the cornerstone of this project, responsible for simulating the lifecycle of fake nodes, pods, and other Kubernetes API resources.
• kwokctl is a CLI tool designed to streamline the creation and management of clusters, with nodes simulated by kwok.
