Mininet is a container orchestration system for network emulation. With Mininet and onos.py, you can easily start up an ONOS cluster in a single VM or server. This is usually the most convenient way to create an ONOS development environment on your laptop, and you can be up and running in a matter of minutes (or seconds if you have already built ONOS and have already installed Mininet!)

onos.py and Mininet?
If you are using Mininet in a VM or on a physical server, it is easy to use onos.py to start up a complete emulated ONOS network, including ONOS cluster, modeled control network, and data network.
This simplifies development on a laptop, because you can run a single development VM (or no VM at all if you are running on a Linux machine!) Moreover, it is more efficient than a multi-VM setup because the entire emulated network lives in a single VM and shares a single Linux kernel.
