Integrate with Kubernetes

[mraerino]

Someone at a meetup lately suggested it would be cool to be able to start containers on Kubernetes so blackbox tests of containers can be done using standard test libraries.

Since this library is in an early state, it would be a great opportunity to abstract the container layer in such a way that it does not matter whether the Docker or Kubernetes APIs are used.

Yep, this is a good idea, I think we should create a Container interface with the current functions we implemented in the container like:

type Container interface{
     Terminate(ctx context.Context, t *testing.T) error
     LivenessCheckPorts(ctx context.Context) (nat.PortSet, error) 
     GetIPAddress(ctx context.Context) (string, error)
     GetHostEndpoint(ctx context.Context, port string) (string, string, error)
}

And we can have a new file kubernetes.go that implements that interface with a function RunPod (it should return a container just like RunContainer but via kubernetes (a pod).

Nice idea! I don't think this is a top priority btw. For example, I am using this library in a project and we use Jenkins to run tests against kubernetes but we use Docker in Docker. I am not sure about the benefits of having the ability to run pods directly. What do you think?

That sounds great!

The foundation for this has been laid in #36

This is probably something we should do with the Java implementation and other forks, at the right time. Please could we discuss the general approach to tackling this?

I can't think of anything specific, but it would be good for all the implementations to be gradually moving towards convergence on feature sets rather than divergence 😄 .

We have a lot to fix before this. So yes! Let's work on this together when everyone will be ready.
