Minikube addons system¶
The minikube addons system provides a mechanism to extend the functionality of a local Kubernetes cluster. Minikube includes a catalog of easily installed Kubernetes services and features that can be enabled or configured as needed^[minikube.md].
Addon Management¶
Users can interact with the addon system via the command line to view available extensions. To browse the catalog of these services, the following command is used^[minikube.md]:
[Minikube](<./minikube.md>) addons list
This command retrieves the current list of addons supported by the Minikube installation, allowing users to see which features are available for activation^[minikube.md].
Built-in Functionality¶
When a new cluster is initialized, Minikube automatically enables a set of core addons to handle essential storage and networking needs. Upon starting a cluster, the system explicitly enables the default-storageclass and storage-provisioner addons^[minikube.md#L19-20].
These default addons ensure that the cluster has the necessary resources to manage persistent volumes and storage classes dynamically for deployed workloads^[minikube.md].
