(exp) Spike: Investigate Minikube and kvm/qemu driver interaction #299

Closed knabben closed 5 months ago

knabben commented 5 months ago

Understand inner interactions with qmeu and Minikube machinery to manage the lifecycle of the VM. POC the swdt start command in this first step.

knabben commented 5 months ago

Thus Minikube run the following command to start the VM

qemu-system-x86_64  -cpu max -display none -accel kvm -m 6000 -smp 2 -boot d -cdrom /home/aknabben/.minikube/machines/minikube/boot2docker.iso -qmp unix:/home/aknabben/.minikube/machines/minikube/monitor,server,nowait -pidfile /home/aknabben/.minikube/machines/minikube/qemu.pid -nic user,model=virtio,hostfwd=tcp::40417-:22,hostfwd=tcp::35403-:2376,hostname=minikube -daemonize /home/aknabben/.minikube/machines/minikube/disk.qcow2.

In the end minikube is bootingstrap a VM with boot2docker.iso on a formatted disk, Minikube does not uses a libvirt driver instead run the qemu-system-x86_64 binary and install the steps: bootstrapping certificates, precreate, saving, creating, waiting and finally provisioning.
