How to Mock a Kubernetes Rolling Update with maxSurge in Python
Simulate a Kubernetes rolling update with maxSurge policy, tracking peak and final replica counts during roll transitions.
from collections import deque
class RollingUpdateMaxSurge:
def __init__(self, replicas, max_surge):
self.replicas = replicas
self.max_surge = max_surge
self.available = replicas
self.history = deque()

How to Simulate a Packer AMI Build in Python
A simple Python class that mimics a Packer AMI build lifecycle — creates a build object, transitions its state to completed, and prints a JSON snapshot.
import json
class PackerBuildMock:
def __init__(self, name, ami_id, region="us-east-1", state="pending"):
self.name = name
self.ami_id = ami_id
self.region = region
self.state = state
def build(self):
if self.state == "pending":
self.state = "completed"

How to simulate GitLab CI stages in Python
Build a lightweight Python mock of GitLab CI pipeline stages to test job sequencing and output locally.
def mock_gitlab_ci_stages():
stages = ["build", "test", "deploy"]
stage_status = {}
for stage in stages:
jobs = []
if stage == "build":

How to simulate a Jenkins pipeline in Python
Simulate a Jenkins-style pipeline in Python by running sequential stages and checking aggregate success.
def run_stage(name, duration, fn):
print(f"[Pipeline] Running stage: {name}")
result = fn()
print(f"[Pipeline] Stage '{name}' completed in {duration}s -> {result}")
return result
def build_project():
print(" compiling source...")
return "BUILD_OK"

How to simulate a database migration init container mock in Python
A mock init container that runs environment checks and a staged database migration job before the main application starts, printing progress to stdout.
```python
class MigrationJob:
def __init__(self, name, steps):
self.name = name
self.steps = steps
self.current_step = 0
self.status = "pending"
def run(self):
print(f"Initializing migration job: {self.name}")
for step in self.steps:

PodDisruptionBudget minAvailable in Python
Simulate a Kubernetes PodDisruptionBudget check for minAvailable and maxUnavailable constraints with a Python class.
class PodDisruptionBudget:
def __init__(self, name, min_available=None, max_unavailable=None):
self.name = name
self.min_available = min_available
self.max_unavailable = max_unavailable
def check_availability(self, ready_pods):
if self.min_available is not None:
