This is a subtask for #5896

Regardless of the installation method for Antrea, it would be useful to have an antctl CLI command to quickly validate an Antrea installation and identify possible problems with the cluster. In essence, this command would serve a similar purpose as cilium connectivity test, which currently runs 69 connectivity tests.

We should probably start with a small set of tests initially (which by the way may not be limited to connectivity). If we have a robust and flexible framework, we can easily add new tests over time as needed.

Note that there is a fine line between post-installation checks and e2e tests. We want to avoid too much redundancy between the 2, and post-installation checks should ideally run pretty fast, so that users can run them after each installation and get results quickly.

I have an idea for a specific post-installation test, once #6133 (which defines the framework) is merged: when Antrea is deployed with encryption enabled (e.g., with Wireguard), we should include a test to validate that inter-Node Pod-to-Pod traffic is indeed encrypted. I think this could give users confidence that encryption is working correctly.

Hi @antoninbas, The idea Sounds good to me :)

Add antctl check installation to conduct connectivity checks (#6133)
dc97a83 
We introduce a new antctl subcommand (antctl check) which can be used to
run sanity checks on a K8s cluster / Antrea deployment.
At the moment, we have "antctl check installation", which can be used to
validate an Antrea installation, by running some connectivity checks. We
only have a limited number of tests for now (inter-Node & intra-Node Pod
connectivity, Pod connectivity to the Internet), but the frameowk should
make it straightforward to add additional tests in the future.
We validate the antctl command in CI using a Github workflow.

For #6061

Closing the issue as we have added the framework and a selection of tests. More tests will be added over time.
