high cpu usage with minikube
everytime i run minikube start， cpu usage increases to 100~300% and cpu fan gets loud ....
docker-machine-driver-xhyve version: /usr/local/Cellar/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/0.3.3
minikube version minikube version: v0.23.0
macOS version: High sierra 10.13
did you try to increase the number of cpus allocated to the minikube vm ? Default is set to 2 cpus.
minikube start --vm-driver=xhyve --cpus NUMBER_OF_CPUS
I set mine to 4 and it reduced my cpu usage from 140% to 50%
You might be running into this minikube issue https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/2130, try to disable the dashboard addon and see if that helps
On: macOS Sierra - 10.12.6 minikube: v0.23.0
When starting minikube without adding --cpus 4 with dashboard addon enabled, its always over 100% usage as reported in this issue. However when I disable the dashboard addon as suggested by @oyvindio, the usage falls to around 33%
After trying @komondor's suggestion minikube start --vm-driver=xhyve --cpus 4 with dashboard addon enabled, the CPU usage fluctuates around 24 - 28% and rarely goes above 40%.
However, not sure if allowing 4 CPUs can cause any issue with my machine otherwise. Would it?
Same problem with Minishift
After a couple of hours if the minishift is not stopped the computer will trash (both cpu and memory very high for docker-machine-driver-xhyve) and needs to be rebooted, so 2 hrs is the limit for usage.
There is no kubernetes dashboard involved, so I guess it was not the culprit.
