summary
Minikube runs real kube binaries (supports ~Kubernetes 1.11–1.17), uses kubeadm for cluster bootstrap, caches images for offline use, and ships monthly releases. Cold start on Hyperkit is about 85 seconds, image load and kubeadm steps make up most of that. Recent prototypes add multi-node (worker join via kubeadm) and a VM-free “kic” mode (Kubernetes-in-container), plus a pause command to suspend clusters; the multi-node demo attempts a kubeadm join but fails on stage. Docker is the default runtime; contributors are actively wanted.
