parallels

Overview

The Parallels driver is particularly useful for users who own Parallels Desktop for Mac, as it does not require VT-x hardware support.

Requirements

  • Parallels Desktop 11.0.0+ Pro or Business edition

Usage

Start a cluster using the parallels driver:

  1. minikube start --driver=parallels

To make parallels the default driver:

  1. minikube config set driver parallels

Issues

Troubleshooting

  • Run minikube start --alsologtostderr -v=7 to debug crashes
