To run from with a docker container, you will need to mount the host Docker daemon's socket:

$ ./hack/run-test-containers.sh

Termination Values

Value	Description
GracefulSuccess	Ideally what you want to see everywhere. It means that the container terminated gracefully and the exit code was zero.
GracefulError	This means that the container terminated gracefully but the exit code was not zero.
ForceKilled	The container did not terminate gracefully. Specifically, it failed to terminate within the allocated StopTimeout, triggering a SIGKILL by the container daemon.
OOMKilled	The container did not terminate gracefully. During the shutdown it requested more memory than the limit allowed, triggering a SIGKILL by the container daemon.
Unhandled	The container did not terminate gracefully. It terminated with status code 9 or 137 (which is reserved for SIGKILL) but we did not detect neither an OOMKILL nor a timeout event.
