+Wait tests
+----------
+
+wait tests require at least one node, and don't work on the normal k8s
+openshift-origin container as provided by ansible-test --docker -v k8s
+
+minikube, Kubernetes from Docker or any other Kubernetes service will
+suffice.
+
+If kubectl is already using the right config file and context, you can
+just do
+
+```
+cd test/integration/targets/k8s
+./runme.sh -vv
+```
+
+otherwise set one or both of `K8S_AUTH_KUBECONFIG` and `K8S_AUTH_CONTEXT`
+and use the same command
