 2. Implement a webhook to ensure tests are exclusively scheduled on Windows nodes.
-    - For you to reliably target all the Kubernetes e2e tests to be scheduled on a Windows node, you will need to
-      set up
-      a [mutating webhook](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/extensible-admission-controllers/)
-      which dynamically adds a `kubernetes.io/os:windows` pod selector to every scheduled pod.
-      [`kubernetes.io/os`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/labels-annotations-taints/#kubernetes-io-os) is a
-      well-known
-      label which is used to indicate the operating system for the node, so that it can be taken into account by the
-      _kubelet_
-      and by the _kube-scheduler_.
-    - The reason it is necessary to add the webhook is to ensure appropriate and successful scheduling of pods on
-      Windows
-      nodes while running the `ops-readiness` tests. Incorrectly scheduling the pods on a different operating system may
-      result in false positives or false negatives in the test results. Some Kubernetes e2e tests do not specify a pod
-      selector and therefore there can be no guarantee that the pods will be scheduled on Windows node when running
-      the `ops-readiness` tests. To reliably run the operational readiness tests on Windows nodes, it is required to
-      configure such a webhook.
-    - To set up your webhook, you can write your own webhook, or repurpose the one provided in this project.
-      See the [webhook README](webhook/README.md) for more instrunctions on how to use the webhook provided in this
-      project.
