minikube start - multiple times - kubernetes

When I do a minikube start I get:
Starting local Kubernetes v1.9.4 cluster...
Starting VM...
Getting VM IP address...
Moving files into cluster...
Setting up certs...
Connecting to cluster...
Setting up kubeconfig...
Starting cluster components...
Kubectl is now configured to use the cluster.
Loading cached images from config file.
However, if I do this again I get the same output.
Is this creating a new cluster, reprovisioning the existing cluster or just doing nothing?

minikube start resumes the old cluster that is paused/stoped.
But if you delete the minikube machine by minikube delete or manually delete from virtualbox, minikube start will create a new cluster in that case.

MINIKUBE is a lightweight kubernetes implementation that creates a VM on your
local machine.
and deploys a cluster containing only one NODE.
so basically MINIKUBE is the only NODE in the Kubernetes cluster.
Any multiple attempts to start the minikube is directed to create ONE NODE ONLY.
$ kubectl get nodes
this return minikube node
but i came across this link which provides info on creating multiple nodes multi node cluster

Why does minikube cluster goes away from kind cluster gets deleted?

So I first start a minikube cluster (1.25.2) using minikube start. Then I bring up a kind cluster using some kind-Calico-conf.yml file:
$ kind create cluster --name=calico --config=./kind-Calico-conf.yml
When I later delete this Calico cluster (kind delete cluster --name=calico), I can see that the minikube cluster is gone too. Why is this happening?

Kube-proxy was not found in my rancher cluster

My Rancher cluster is setup around 3 weeks. Everything works fine. But there is one problem while installing MetalLB. I found there is no kubeproxy in my cluster. Even there no kube-proxy pod in every node. I could not follow installation guide to setup config map of kube-proxy
For me, it is really strange to have a cluster without kubeproxy
My setup for rancher cluster is below:
Cluster Provider: RKE
Provision and Provision : Use existing nodes and create a cluster using RKE
Network Plugin : canal
Maybe something I misunderstand. I can discover nodeport and ClusterIP in service correctly.
Finally, I find my kibe-proxy. It is process of host not docker container.
In Racher, we should edit cluster.yml to put extra args for kube-proxy. Rather will apply in every node of cluster automatically.

How to connect to a minikube cluster created in a linux VM from windows 10 local computer?

I have created a following minikube cluster in linux machine . Now I wanted to connect to the node of the cluster from my local windows 10 machine. I have kubectl installed in the local machine. How do I connect the worker node of a minikube cluster from my windows machine? I am new to the Kubes , please let me know if any details needs to added to the question.
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
minikube Ready control-plane,master 52d v1.22.3
minikube-m02 Ready worker 49m v1.22.3
minikube-m03 Ready worker 43m v1.22.3
Deploying a Nginx reverse proxy in front of a minikube can make us interact from local machines to the Virtual machine where the minikube is installed.
You can’t access minikube remotely because it’s only accessible locally. For this reason, you need to deploy an Nginx reverse proxy next to minikube that will allow receiving requests from remote clients then forward them to kube-apiserver. Kubernetes API server is a point where all your requests will go when you use the command-line tool kubectl. The kubectl allows you to run commands against Kubernetes clusters.
Refer this document for the detailed procedure of installing Nginx reverse proxy in front of a minikube.

Add existing instances to a kubernetes cluster

Is it possible to add existing instances in the GCP to a kubernetes cluster?
I can see the inputs while creating the cluster in graphically mode is :
Cluster Name,
Location,
Zone,
Cluster Version,
Machine type,
Size.
In command mode:
gcloud container clusters create cluster-name --num-nodes=4
I'm having 10 running instances.
I need to create the kubernetes cluster with the already existing running instances
On your instance run the following
kubelet --api_servers=http://<API_SERVER_IP>:8080 --v=2 --enable_server --allow-privileged
kube-proxy --master=http://<API_SERVER_IP>:8080 --v=2
This will connect your slave node to your existing cluster. Its actually surprisingly simple

kubelet was unhealthy after install k8s from Rancher catalog

Have three hosts to run Rancher cluster.
Rancher: 1.6.10
Kubernetes: 1.7.7
Install k8s from catalog on master host.
Set orchestration=true and etcd=true labels to two Rancher agent hosts.
After the k8s stack finished, only the kubelet went wrong. Unhealthy with 0 containers.
Why?
The question has been debugged in the comment section.
Kubernetes Mantra
I have added some additional point to keep it in mind to debug the Kubelet.
The K8s cluster is made of Masters and Workers Node which has several components. Kubelet is one the component which needs to take care properly.
Let's begin by saying that Master node manages or orchestrate the cluster state and Workers node run the pods.However, Without Kubelet It does not work Since It will be part of each node whether it's a Master or Worker.
Performance of the cluster certainly depends on the kubelet.
We can use the following command to check its status and activity or logs.As It is deployed as system-service by systemd.
systemctl status kubelet
journalctl -xeu kubele
