After some research and documentation reading on the standards repo, I started the setup of development environment using the suggested yaook/k8s cluster approach. After multiple attempts and various issues encountered, it was advised from another members of the team to try spawning cluster using the capi/capo approach. This was a partial success, as I was able to spawn such cluster on SCS OpenStack, but I wasn’t able to properly use it for my development purposes. The team then agreed on new guidelines regarding the sonobuoy testing, which included using a locally deployed kind cluster, which is currently used as the main test cluster for the sonobuoy standard tests development.
