Kubectl always blocks on my Mac Pro

Hi there,
I’m discovering this wonderful world of kubernetes and landed in this blog.
I don’t know if this is the right place to ask a technical question but here is it:

when I use kubectl and minikube on my MacPro Retina (i7 mid 2015 - very powerful) I often experiment how the simple “kubectl get pods” gets in Timeout as the process is too heavy for my processor.

if I do: minikube stop and then minikube start, the kubectl get pods works at the very beginning. If I wait some minutes and try the kubectl get commands again it goes in timeout.

I cannot beliecve my Mac Pro isn’t able to process it, so what can it be?

Hi,

can you give us the output of the command: kubectl version ?

Also the version of minikube with : minikube version.

If you can bear this, could you try reinstall minikube?

Also, minikube has different drivers on Mac, please read minikube docs about this.
