+// NOTE: we have build tags to differentiate kubernetes tests from non-kubernetes tests. This is done because minikube
+// is heavy and can interfere with docker related tests in terratest. Specifically, many of the tests start to fail with
+// `connection refused` errors from `minikube`. To avoid overloading the system, we run the kubernetes tests and helm
+// tests separately from the others. This may not be necessary if you have a sufficiently powerful machine.  We
+// recommend at least 4 cores and 16GB of RAM if you want to run all the tests together.
