+## End to end tests for migrating data in sticky volumes
+
+These tests run in a docker container to ensure proper setup/teardown.
+
+To create the testing image:
+`./docker-init.sh`
+
+To run tests:
+`./docker-run.sh`
+
+TODO:
+  1. Specify how many servers/clients in the test
+  2. Have a callback to specify the client options
+  3. Run servers/clients in the docker container, return IP addresses for each
+     instance, but have the test run on the host.
+  4. There should be a 1:1 mapping from container to agent, rather than running
+     the entire cluster in a container.
