@dlorenc , one quick question with the 0.28.1 release, I have to use minikube start --kubernetes-version=v1.11.0 to get a 1.11 cluster. minikube start creates a 1.10 cluster. Should be default version be upgraded to 1.11 cluster?

We'll be following this up with a 0.29 release shortly, that will switch the default version.

Any update on this?

@kfox1111 , I just use minikube start --kubernetes-version=v1.11.3. Works for me.

I can confirm that does work.

So, I've been recommending users use minikube, but if it out of the box is going to choose older versions, it takes more effort for me to educate my users on how to properly deploy it to function like a recent Kubernetes.

Could we update the --kubernetes-version to default to downloading and using whatever's at https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt ?

kfox1111 on 20 Sep 2018

I have been making the same suggestion to users regarding starting with the --kubernetes-version flag, but with 1.12 slated for release on the 27th it'd be great if the default version was limited to 1 release behind upstream.

how about minikube provided its own version url? then the minikube project can update the default separate from the kubernetes project's latest? Then we can debate what the best default policy should be elsewhere? :)
