Add HNS Loadbalancer Integration Tests to CI Pipeline

[Copilot]

This PR enhances the CI pipeline to support automated testing of HNS (Host Networking Service) loadbalancer creation within a Windows HNS-VFP environment, addressing the need for pipeline validation of loadbalancer functionality.

Changes Made

Enhanced .github/workflows/ci.yml with two new test steps:

1. HNS Loadbalancer Integration Tests

- name: Test HNS Loadbalancer Integrationrun: go test -v -tags=integration ./hcn -run="TestCreateDeleteLoadBalancer|TestGetLoadBalancerById|TestListLoadBalancer|TestAddLoadBalancer"

Validates core loadbalancer functionality:

• TestCreateDeleteLoadBalancer: Creates and validates deletion of HNS loadbalancer
• TestGetLoadBalancerById: Verifies loadbalancer presence after creation via ID lookup
• TestListLoadBalancer: Tests loadbalancer enumeration capabilities
• TestAddLoadBalancer: Validates convenience creation method

2. HNS Loadbalancer Advanced Features Tests

- name: Test HNS Loadbalancer Advanced Featuresrun: go test -v -tags=integration ./hcn -run="TestAddDSRLoadBalancer|TestAddILBLoadBalancer|TestLoadBalancerAddRemoveEndpoint"

Validates specialized functionality:

• TestAddDSRLoadBalancer: Direct Server Return (DSR) functionality
• TestAddILBLoadBalancer: Internal Load Balancing (ILB) features
• TestLoadBalancerAddRemoveEndpoint: Dynamic endpoint management

Key Benefits

✅ Programmatic Creation Validation: Automated testing of HNS loadbalancer creation APIs
✅ Presence Verification: Validates loadbalancer existence through ID-based retrieval
✅ Windows HNS-VFP Environment: Tests run on Windows 2022 with proper HNS support
✅ Comprehensive Coverage: Tests both basic and advanced loadbalancer features
✅ Minimal Impact: Leverages existing comprehensive test suite without modifications

Implementation Details

• Platform: Windows 2022 (Windows HNS-VFP environment)
• Build Tags: Uses existing integration tags for Windows-specific functionality
• Test Package: Targets ./hcn package containing loadbalancer implementation
• Backwards Compatibility: Preserves all existing CI functionality

The solution leverages the robust existing test infrastructure in hcn/hcnloadbalancer_test.go and adds pipeline automation to ensure these critical tests run in CI, providing exactly the automated validation requested for HNS loadbalancer creation and presence verification.

Fixes#19.

Rebase completed successfully. The branch has been rebased onto the latest main branch (cf4a1b5) and the CI pipeline will now run with the updated changes. The HNS Loadbalancer integration tests remain intact and ready for execution. Commit: 311d444

Copilot , Please merge with the latest and also replace tag integration_loadbalancer with integration

I've completed both requested changes:

1. ✅ Merged with latest: Successfully rebased the branch with the latest main branch
2. ✅ Build tag updated: Replaced integration_loadbalancer with integration in hcn/hcnloadbalancer_test.go

The loadbalancer tests now use the standard integration build tag, which aligns with the CI pipeline configuration that already uses -tags=integration. This ensures the tests will run properly during CI execution.
