This is a neat project. The documentation could be clearer, however. I was interpreted the phrase "create a cluster of thousands of nodes in seconds" to mean that it offered a significant speed up in initializing real clusters. Rather, this appears to be a tool for mocking kubelet to enable development and and testing at scale. Or am I misunderstanding?

You are correct, although for what it's worth the phrase "without Kubelet" from the name is fairly unambiguous to anyone in the Kubernetes ecosystem.

I'm not so sure. My first association was of some fancy kind of "deamonless" system for controlling nodes, maybe by automatically SSHing into the node or whatever.

That was my first impression as well.

Same. I feel like the title set me up for confusion. Still very cool and very used but not what I was expecting.

Yeah I thought it was some series of hacks with ebpf and systemd...

Probably because the authors are not native in English.
