Current situation

we use kola to run tests on the CI but it can also be used locally. Since the tool owns various options and has several requirements it would be helpful to provide a pre-flight check in order to catch any mis-configuration on the host or in the options in order to prevent eventual failures.

Impact

it could reduce some friction on the kola usage.

Ideal future situation

something like:

$ kola run ...
requirements:
    - [*] ipv4 forwarding
    - [ ] iptables nat rules
    - [*] kolet binary

Implementation options
