title: Minikube VM Driver: None vs Virtualbox/KVM
body: <p>What are the differences in running Minikube with a VM hypervisor (VirtualBox/HVM) vs none?</p>
  
  <p>I am <strong>not</strong> asking whether or not Minikube can run without a hypervisor. I know that running on '--vm-driver=none' is possible and it runs on the local machine and requires Docker be installed. </p>
  
  <p>I am asking what is the performance differences. There is not a lot of documentation on how '--vm-driver=none' works. I am wondering would running without the VM affect the functionality of Minikube. </p>
