Are you building custom docker images as part of your local development? I'm curious if you've found a good way to push locally built images into the cluster since it doesn't provide a private registry server.
Do you you know if persistent disk support has improved? I'd love to migrate over from minikube / microk8s, but that was the largest blocker for me last time I looked.
Minikube adopted VirtualBox as its default and recommended VM driver, and personally I never managed to get non-VirtualBox VM drivers to work with minikube, including Docker.
It's faster and much more light weight than minikube, since you can quite easily set it up on your machine and avoid a VM.
