Yes and being decoupled from Docker Machine is super underestimated in the community IMHO. I switched seamlessly between VirtualBox based and Docker Machine based clusters in no time when Docker went rogue with their licensing.
EDIT: we're talking dev environments only. Not prod. DO NOT put minikube in prod.
What are the concerns? I keep hearing the same "don't use it in prod" about docker, yet I know quite a few (small-ish) operations successfully running on it.
Minikube isn’t intended to run production services. You’ll encounter a lot of constraints that don’t exist on a real cluster, and you’ll likely lose important data if you use it very long.
Docker made sense to use in production because people wanted to run containers.
What could possibly be the justification for running production workloads on minikube?
Hm, never heard against Docker in cloud (since early times of Docker). Only about keeping your database in Docker -- yes, that was arecommentadion some 5+ years ago and maybe now as well.
