 #      initPods: 20000

+# Measure throughput of regular schedulable pods that are interleaved by high priority preemption pods scheduled at 20/s rate.
+# Implementation of asynchrounous preemption feature https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/126858 is supposed to increase the trhoughput of the measured pods as all heavy operations (apiserver communication) will be performed asyncronously, wihtout blocking the scheduler loop.
+# How is it achieved:
+# 1. There are X initial nodes with 4 low priority pods each, consuming 3.6 CPU out of the total 4 available.
+# 2. High priority preemption which need to preempt 3 of 4 low priority pods to fit (require 3 CPU).
+# 3. Measured pods are always schedulable, as they require 0.1 CPU only.
