I am working on openam deployment on Google cloud platform (GCP) and the OS is RHEL7. I am facing issue while running minikube start.
[root@test ~]# minikube start
Starting local Kubernetes v1.10.0 cluster...

Retrying.

I already installed virtualbox on RHEL. I want to know how to enable VT-X on GCP?
Thanks Ashish
You can use --vm-driver=none to run your minikube in cloud. This flag will run your minukube in Docker. You should have installed Docker first.
Also you can create a custom image where VMX will be enabled. Just follow the official documentation instruction. Example from the documentation on how to create a custom image with enabled VMX:
gcloud compute images create nested-vm-image --source-disk disk1 --source-disk-zone us-central1-a --licenses "https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/vm-options/global/licenses/enable-vmx"Then, just create a new VM with the custom image.
gcloud compute instances create example-nested-vm --zone us-central1-b --image nested-vm-imageAfter all, you can install the VirtualBox or KVM and start minikube.
