Description
I'd like to add support for the virtualbox driver to use the virtio-net network adapter. This is to improve performance.
minikube should probably just default to virtio-net given we know we're using a Linux 2.6.25+ kernel. See the VBoxManage docs: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html. The default in docker machine is currently defaultHostOnlyNictype = "82540EM"
, which docs note supports Windows.
If changing the default isn't acceptable or it should be configurable, it seems consistent to support this usage: minikube start --vm-driver=virtualbox --virtualbox-network=virtio-net
. There's an existing, similar --kvm-network
flag.
