The thesis mainly focuses on the scheduler used by Kubernetes which is called the kubescheduler. The problem arises when testing the behavior of the kubescheduler in a real cluster gets complicated and costly. Therefore, we decided to create a simulator to test the behavior of kubescheduler under different scenarios. Our Ksimul8 application is built on Simpy, which is a process-based discrete-event simulation framework based on standard Python. As we know, the actual kubescheduler is written in Go, which is a relatively new and niche programming language. Therefore, we chose Python for its intuitive programming solution and support for a large number of libraries.
