Understanding Minikube and the local IP address

Time:10-26

I am very new to kubernetes. I'm using minikube to run a k8 cluster on local machine and deploy a Redis based docker image to it. I have the following question:

  1. After starting the minikube. I get the following output when I run cluster info. I don't understand what this IP : 192.168.49.2:8443 is and where it is coming from ?

enter image description here

I read up online on minikube and have understood that it spins up a cluster by creating various vm's out of local machine. So I'm guessing the IP addr that I get here is a virtual IP address.

CodePudding user response:

192.168.49.0/24 is used by the Minikube Docker driver as the default subnet. In greater detail, Minikube creates a bridge network on which the pods run; this network has this default subnet 192.168.49.0/24 with NAT. The subsequent Minikube container is on 192.168.49.2 IP.
