Problem
When running k6 tests with a large number of hostnames (more than 500 IPs), the starter job fails with a 'Linux argument list too long' error. This is a limitation of the Linux command line length.
Solution
This PR implements a solution to handle large hostname lists by:
maxHostnamesPerBatch = 500to define the maximum number of hostnames per batchTesting
The solution has been tested with more than 500 hostnames and successfully creates multiple starter jobs to handle the large list.
