Node Readiness Controller supports a control-plane co-located / static-pod deployment model that could be preferred for non-disruptive deployments. A minikube addon will give us a way to test this as a lifecycle-managed addon path where NRC runs before user workloads after the control plane.
Minikube also will help our developer environments eg. for features in our roadmaps such as GPU/TPU node simulation for device-driver readiness related testing is very enabling with minikube vs kind. It'll also help with testing more agentic use-cases in the future with support for running gVisor / kata containers.
This feature will give a minikube start --addons=nrc as a one-liner for anyone looking to test / consume NRC.
