Minikube on Windows. Hyper-V vs Vagrant/VirtualBox

Kubernetes is a system for running and coordinating containerized applications across a cluster of machines. Minikube runs a single-node Kubernetes cluster and can be used for local development. In this blog post I'll compare 2 different ways to get a working Minikube environment on Windows based on experience with a workshop which we've created. One based on using Vagrant and VirtualBox (in which an Ubuntu environment is created) and one which uses Hyper-V (and an out of the box Minikube Linux distribution running on top). Do mind that many of the things in this blog post are a personal opinion.
