Running Scenarios

Running a scenario follows the same conceptual flow regardless of environment:

1. Select or author a scenario plan that pairs a topology with workloads, expectations, and a suitable run window.
2. Choose a deployer aligned with your environment (local, compose, or k8s) and ensure its prerequisites are available.
3. Deploy the plan through the deployer, which provisions infrastructure and returns a runner.
4. The runner orchestrates workload execution for the planned duration; keep observability signals visible so you can correlate outcomes.
5. The runner evaluates expectations and captures results as the primary pass/fail signal.

Use the same plan across different deployers to compare behavior between local development and CI or cluster settings. For environment prerequisites and flags, see Operations.
