+This includes functionalities such as deployments,
+monitoring, analysis, and control of aforementioned software's."

+`vac:dst:ift:2025q2-dst-tooling`
+
+## Description
+
+We will create tools to help DST efficiency.
+These tools can be composed of utilities for Kubernetes,
+or any other kind that fits the necessities of DST and other projects.
+As projects might share common necessities, this tasks will be considered
+as a scaffold for DST tools, adapting the tools for each project if it needs.
+Among tools that can be useful, we consider deployment utilities
+to facilitate the launch of experiments, general log parser for
+project analysis, and any other kind of utilities that may
+appear depending on the needs of the projects.
+
+### Background
+
+### Narratives
+
+These efforts will support the Conduit of Expertise narrative by
+accelerating DST/IFT Improvements,
+providing measurable insights
+to enhance developer experience
+within and beyond the IFT ecosystem.
+Also, ideally these tools can be shared across projects, 
+reinforcing cross project collaboration.
+
+
+## Task list
+
+### Python deployment scaffold

+* fully qualified name: `vac:dst:ift:2025q2-dst-tooling:python-deployment-scaffold`
+* owner: Pearson
+* status: 0%
+* start-date: 2025/05/12
+* end-date: 2025/05/23
+
+#### Description
+Design and code an initial structure to create deployments in a Kubernetes environment with Python.
+Taking as initial example nWaku deployments in bash, create a system where 
+statefulset can be deployed and controlled/configured easily. 
+Take into account that this should remain a general tool, considering
+other kind of deployments (PODs) with any other pieces of software that might run inside.
+This should substitute the usage of bash scripts, allowing a better configuration
+and usability. Note that the deployment/s should also be controlled by the user if required, in the future.
+Apart from the configuration of the deployment, it should be considered a way to continue the workflow with 
+the next steps of the experiments (scraping and plotting).
+If possible, adapt this to be able to run it from inside and outside the cluster.
