You wanted Apple to add container support to the OSX kernel? Hah. I wonder if the virtualization API that Apple is pushing performs better than Hyperkit.

Tech Preview of Docker Desktop for M1

#62Perhaps a dumb question but I'm curious why people don't use a VPS or a cloud linux machine more for Docker/K8s development instead of running Docker locally on a Mac. In my experience Docker Desktop has been such a resource hog, and Apple's hypervisor implementation pretty poor. I much prefer to have all that heavy lifting isolated away from my development machine to keep it responsive and cool.

Can you share any details on M1 perf and resource consumption? Docker vm on mac is noticeably slower and consumes a lot of resources in my experience.
The only thing I can say with confidence is that if you're using ARM containers it is really fast, probably thanks to the Apple Silicon. I imagine memory consumption is on par with running on Intel. I don't think Docker Desktop can really change that.

#66The Docker team is so awesome for getting this out so quickly.

you might say, "well get a cheaper computer!" but I find that cheaper computers have worse screens, battery life, and overall quality.

#68or maybe I moved the goal post to requiring more than 16gb RAM again
but come on everyone you can do it!
edit: guys I'm talking about running Windows on a VM on a M1 macbook. Just going down the checkbox of virtualization options. Docker is one checkbox. Now want Windows and Vmware/VirtualBox/Parallels

#69Now come on Windows! Give me a solution for that (although I rarely use it) and I’m sold or maybe I moved the goal post to requiring more than 16gb RAM again but come on everyone you can do it! edit: guys I'm talking about running Windows on a VM on a M1 macbook.

Because we use abstraction as a way of lowering barrier to entry to reduce the requirements for people to be proficient in the career and be able to reduce overall costs downwards?
Lowering the entrance requirements doesn't mean you should STAY at the entrance.
I know enough Docker to create and launch a dev environment, but I don’t need anything more than that since I don’t do deployments.
Likewise you don’t need to learn about browser rendering since you barely interact with it.
