What kinds of things would someone evaluate with this where the limitations aren’t a factor? If I were testing load, I’d want performance and lifecycle behavior to be accurate, but I guess there are some other use cases?

One area we've been poking at is better understanding API server and scheduler decisions when large number of nodes fail at the same time. We don't actually need to be running the workloads to get useful information.

We're experiencing a lot of performance issues with Istio in larger clusters of 4-5k pods and several k services, where high churn rates causes the control plane to go ballistic.

KWOK allows us to reproduce this load without spending a penny.

How does it compare with e.g. cluster loader using hollow nodes?
