Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for simulating a virtual environment. A method includes simulating, using a virtualization simulator, a plurality of hosts; simulating, using the virtualization simulator, a plurality of virtual computing instances (VCIs) associated with the plurality of simulated hosts, based on information obtained from a cluster application programming interface (API) provider; creating, using a virtualization simulator operator, one or more node simulator schedulers; creating, using the one or more node schedulers, a node simulator; simulating, using the node simulator, a plurality of guest operating systems (OSs) associated with the plurality of simulated VCIs; and joining the plurality of simulated guest OSs to one or more node clusters in a data center via an API server.
