# Deploy Minikube on a High-Performance VPS with CubePath

## Lightweight Kubernetes Environment on CubePath Cloud

**Minikube** is a tool that runs a local Kubernetes cluster, designed for development, testing, and learning. It is not intended for production workloads.

With **CubePath Marketplace**, you can deploy **Minikube on your own VPS** and run a fully functional Kubernetes cluster with full control over resources and configuration.

### Minikube on CubePath provides:
- Self-hosted Kubernetes environment  
- Full control over cluster configuration  
- Dedicated CPU, RAM, and NVMe storage  
- Predictable infrastructure costs
