3. What is Minishift? • A CLI tool that provisions and manages single-node OpenShift clusters optimized for development workflows.
4. Why Minishift? • No fuss, single command, least setup requirements • Get everything you need to simulate a container/microservices environment, at one shot, on your local machine. You do not need to install anything extra. • Run OpenShift locally and experiment with it before you move it to the production scenario
