## AI overview

A tutorial explains how to run Minikube on macOS with the HyperKit driver instead of VirtualBox, inspect the setup logs, interact with the resulting Kubernetes cluster, use its dashboard, and stop or restart the cluster.

## Source excerpt

While Docker for mac in the edge channel offers a Kubernetes integration, I wanted to have the same tool as my pals on linux, who're most likely using minikube. Minikube on OSX requires a virtual machine which is by default VirtualBox, since minikube is using the docker a the container runtime it bootstrap the VM environment with boot2docker.
