How to keep minkube kube-apiserver from using up a tone of %CPU?

11/27/2018

After deploying anything to minikube it seems as though the apiserver starts eating up all the CPU and makes the dashboard mostly unusable until the apiserver dies and gets restarted.

I've read through a bit of the references found in this post: kube-apiserver high CPU and requests

However, those seem to specifically target deployed k8s clusters on many machines, or at least where the master isn't on the same machine.

That's not how it would work with minikube since it's a signle node cluster. Not to mention it typically isn't given a ton of resources (neither CPU or mem).

Is there a way to curb or eliminate this behavior? Perhaps I've missed some important configuration for running on minikube?
