nodus podens

P → Q, P ⊢ Q

Simulated large clusters for Kubernetes scheduler validation.

NOTE: This project is in the process of migrating to the kubernetes-sigs GitHub organization.

npsim masquerades as many Kubelets. Define classes of nodes and how many of each you want in a few lines of yaml. When a scheduler binds pods to npsim's fake Kubelets, npsim pretends to run them. The pods' runtime and terminal phase are driven by pod labels.

nptest interprets a scenario config file provided by the user. The scenario specifies the faked behavior of nodes and pods during the run, and includes assertions to validate the scheduler's behavior.

quick start

Build binaries

$ make

Start k8s control plane services

$ make k8s-up

Build a kubeconfig that points to the local cluster

$ make kconfig

Run a test scenario
