# Minikube Roadmap
|
|
This document contains the goals, plans, and priorities for the minikube project.
|
|
Note that these priorities are not set in stone. Please file an issue if you'd like to discuss adding or reordering these :)
|
|
|
|
## Goals
|
|
The primary goal of minikube is to make it simple to run Kubernetes on your local machine, both for getting started and day-to-day development workflows.
|
|
Here are some specific features that align with our goal:
|
|
* Single command setup and teardown UX.
|
|
* Support most portable Kubernetes core features (local storage, networking, auto-scaling, loadbalancing, etc.)
|
|
* Unified UX across OSes.
|
|
* Minimal dependencies on third party software.
|
|
* Minimal resource overhead.
|
|
* Becoming the default local-cluster setup for Kubernetes
|
|
|
|
## Non-Goals
|
|
* Simplifying kubernetes production deployment experience. Kube-deploy is attempting to tackle this problem.
|
|
* Supporting all possible deployment configurations of Kubernetes like various types of storage, networking, etc.
|
|
|
|
## Priorities
|
|
This section contains the overall priorities of the minikube project, in rough order.
|
|
|
|
* Setting up a well-tested, secure and complete Kubernetes cluster locally.
|
|
* Mac OSX and Linux support.
|
|
* Supporting existing Kubernetes features:
|
|
* Load Balancer support.
|
|
* Persistent disks.
|
|
* Keeping up with new Kubernetes releases and features.
|
|
* Development-focused features like:
|
|
* Mounting host directories.
|
|
* VPN/proxy networking.
|
|
* Windows support.
|
|
* Native hypervisor integration.
|
|
* Support for alternative Kubernetes runtimes, like rkt.
|
|
* Removing the VirtualBox dependency and replacing it with Hypervisor.framework/Hyper-V.
|
|
* Support for multiple nodes.
|
|
|
|
## Timelines
|
|
These are rough dates, on a 3-month schedule. Minikube will release much faster than this, so this section is fairly speculative.
|
|
This section is subject to change based on feedback and staffing.
|
|
|
|

|
* Fully-tested, complete release of minikube that supports:
|
|
* Mac OSX and Linux.
