<summary>Describe shortly what is Zuul</summary><br><b>
From [Zuul's docs](https://zuul-ci.org/docs/zuul/about.html): "Zuul is a Project Gating System. Thats like a CI or CD system, but the focus is on testing the future state of code repositories...
Zuul itself is a service which listens to events from various code review systems, executes jobs based on those events, and reports the results back to the code review system."

<summary>What is Nodepool and how is it related to Zuul?</summary><br><b>
"Nodepool is a system for managing test node resources. It supports launching single-use test nodes from cloud providers as well as managing access to pre-defined pre-existing nodes."
"Zuul uses a separate component called Nodepool to provide the resources to run jobs. Nodepool works with several cloud providers as well as statically defined nodes (again, simultaneously)."
