Default CNI in Minikube

I try to understand the Kubernetes network and I am now wondering if a CNI is used per default when installing Minikube and when yes which one?

In other words, can I run Minikube without a CNI provider like Flannel or Calico?

Solution

  • By default Minikube runs on Docker default bridge-network, so the answer should be yes. You have to separately install other CNI providers, like Flannel.

    For specific networking requirements, Minikube docs could be checked out.
