User Story

As a HyperShift developer, I want to have an automated e2e test suite for self-managed Azure clusters, so that I can validate critical functionality and prevent regressions from being merged.

Acceptance Criteria

Test Suite Functionality:

• Given a fresh self-managed Azure HyperShift cluster, when the e2e suite runs, then it should pass consistently on healthy builds
• Given a regression is introduced in critical paths, when the e2e suite runs, then at least one test should fail to block the merge
• Given the suite runs in CI, when tests complete, then it should publish artifacts and results for triage

Test Coverage:

• Verify that cluster creation tests validate successful deployment of control plane and worker nodes
• Verify that control plane resiliency tests validate cluster stability under failure conditions

CI Integration:

• Demonstrate that tests are wired into the CI pipeline and run automatically on PRs
• Demonstrate that test results are published and easily accessible for debugging
• Demonstrate that failed tests block PR merges appropriately
