The Windows Operational Readiness Specification

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

Introduces a concrete spec that maps Windows requirements to upstream e2e tests and a runnable tool that auto-downloads or builds the matching Kubernetes test binary and runs them as a Sonobuoy plugin. Covers 6 categories of enterprise scenarios, wires each case to the upstream implementation, and shows realistic validations like GMSA and Windows NetworkPolicy. Tool integration includes CI/prowjobs and Cluster API hooks, currently about 40% implemented with one issue created per missing test.
